César Awards 2007 Winners
Marina Hands in Lady Chatterley by Pascale Ferran
Perhaps there’s hope for this evening’s Oscar ceremony.
On Saturday, I watched (most of) the French Academy of Film Arts and Sciences‘ 32nd César du cinéma ceremony held last night (late morning/early afternoon Los Angeles time) at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

The best thing about the 2007 César nominations is the fact that Alain Resnais‘ beautiful, haunting, magical Coeurs / Private Fears in Public Places received a total of 8 nominations, including a best director nod for Resnais himself, and a best screenplay nod for Jean-Michel Ribes‘ adaptation of Alan Ayckbourn’s play.
