France’s Academy of Cinematic Arts and Techniques presented nominations for the 37th Cesar Awards ceremony. Child-protection drama “Polisse” led with 13 nominations, while silent, black-and-white film “The Artist” garnered 11.
British actress Kate Winslet is to receive an honorary award from organizers of the Cesar Awards, French equivalent of the Academy Awards. The versatile 36-year-old now on French screens in Roman Polanski’s clashing-couples film “Carnage” will receive the honorary Cesar at the ceremony on Feb. 24.
