César 2007 Winners: Part I
In spite of its nine nods, Days of Glory was another sentimental favorite that failed to receive much love from French Academy members. The war drama won only one César &#8212; for best original screenplay (Rachid Bouchareb and Olivier Lorelle). Days of Glory, about North African soldiers who fought for France during World War II, is up for a best foreign-language film Oscar. In addition, the war drama won an ensemble best actor award at last year&#8217;s Cannes Film Festival.
Karl Zéro and Michel Royer&#8217;s Dans la peau de Jacques Chirac / Inside the Skin of Jacques Chirac, a mockumentary about the opportunistic French president and his four-decade political life, became the first documentary feature to win [...]]]></description>

Marina Hands in Lady Chatterley by Pascale Ferran

Perhaps there&#8217;s hope for this evening&#8217;s Oscar ceremony.
On Saturday, I watched (most of) the French Academy of Film Arts and Sciences&#8216; 32nd César du cinéma ceremony held last night (late morning/early afternoon Los Angeles time) at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
The event, hosted by actress Valérie Lemercier and dedicated to recently deceased French film icon Philippe Noiret, was apparently directed by former U.S. vice president Al Gore, who made sure that winners and presenters attended a class or two at the Greer Garson School of Speech Making. (For those who don&#8217;t know: At the 1943 Academy Awards ceremony, best actress winner Garson supposedly gave the most long-winded acceptance speech in Oscar history.)

Jacques Audiard&#8217;s  curious but uninvolving psychological drama De battre, mon coeur s&#8217;est arrêté / The Beat That My Heart Skipped &#8212; a remake of James Toback&#8217;s Fingers (1978) &#8212; won eight César awards, including best film, best director,  best adapted screenplay (Audiard with Tonino Benacquista), and best supporting actor (Niels Arestrup) at the 2006 César Awards ceremony.
