The 51st César ceremony will be held on February 26 in Paris. And Benjamin Lavernhe will host the evening. Among the nominees, an actress hopes to win a statuette, she who broke the nomination record…
Join us for movie fans on Canal + on February 26, live from the Olympia in Paris, to attend the awards ceremony for the 51st edition of the César Awards. A ceremony during which American actor Jim Carrey will receive an honorary César for his entire career. It will also be an opportunity to find out if this famous French actress, the most nominated in history, will win her third statuette…
Indeed, on the podium of the most nominated actresses we find Juliette Binoche in third position with no less than 11 nominations in the best actress category. She is one of the rare French actresses to have been nominated in almost every decade since the 1980s. However, she has only won once, for the film Three Colors: Blue. Then, in second position, we find the biggest star of French cinema, Catherine Deneuve. She has 13 nominations during her long career in the 7th Art. She also holds the record for the greatest number of consecutive nominations and has won two victories for films The Last Metro And Indochina.
But then who is the most nominated actress for the Césars? It’s Isabelle Huppert! With his appointment in 2026 for The richest woman in the world (a box office success with nearly a million admissions), it now has 16 nominations on the clock, all categories combined.
In detail, she was nominated 14 times for the César for best actress (a record in this category) and twice for best supporting role. But she only won twice for films The Ceremony And She.
Furthermore, although she “only” has 9 nominations, actress Isabelle Adjani holds the historical record for the number of victories with 5 Césars for best actress in her pocket. Conversely, her colleague Noémie Lvovsky holds a much more frustrating “record”: she is the most nominated actress in the best supporting role category (7 times), but has never won the statuette.
