César Awards in the Limelight

Back to the quiz

The César awards, the most prestigious in French cinema, honor the best films and artists of the year. Created in 1976 and considered the equivalent of the Oscars for American cinema, they are much more than a simple awards ceremony. They are the reflection of an industry, its evolutions, its talents and its controversies.
