List of nominees for César 2025, by AVcesar

The nominations for the 2025 Césars have just been announced and some are accumulating potential awards. 14 for The Count of Monte Cristo, 13 for Love, 12 for Emilia Pérez, 8 for The Story of Souleymane and Miséricorde, 7 for En fanfare. Our favorites: En fanfare and Emilia Pérez, two films that combine the power of feelings with music. However, we can once again regret the lack of diversity in the final panel with the repetition of the same three or four feature films in many categories. Verdict on February 28 on Canal+ in the clear.
