César Nominees 2010; SAG Winners 2010

The César nominations were announced this past week, with Jacques Audiard's Un prophète [A Prophet] leading the pack with 13 nominations. Un prophète won the Grand Prix at last year's Cannes Film Festival and is France's official Academy Award submission; lead actor Tahar Rahim also took home the Best Actor prize at the European Film Awards this past December. Audiard has won in the Directing category for The Beat That My Heart Skipped [De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté] (which also won the Best Film that year), in addition to winning in the screenwriting category for Beat and Read My Lips [Sur mes lèvres] and the Best First Film Award for See How They Fall [Regarde les hommes tomber]. Following closely behind Un prophète with 11 nods was Xavier Giannoli's À l'origine [In the Beginning], which also premiered at Cannes last May. Three American films (yes, one of them was directed by Clint Eastwood), last year's big Oscar winner, two francophone films that also premiered at Cannes and last year's Palme d'Or winner will be competing in the foreign category.
