True slip or intentional spade? The president of the Académie des César Alain Terzian and the humorist Florence Foresti, who will officiate on February 28 at the Salle Pleyel in Paris as mistress of ceremonies, announced this Wednesday morning the nominations for the main awards of French cinema. "Roman Polanski for Je suis accusé ... uh ... J'accuse, " said the comedian, announcing the list of nominees for the best adaptation.

Florence Foresti's "I'm accused" has sparked many comments on social networks.

I do not know what to think of the slip of Florence Foresti. In its place, I don't know if I would have had the audacity to do so. That said, in its place, I like to believe that I would have had the audacity to slam the door by saying: "if it is necessary to close my eyes, it will be without me ..."

With 12 nominations, J'accuse was the most cited film at the César 2020. The film's release had sparked controversy after the director was targeted by a new accusation of rape by a Frenchwoman, Valentine Monnier. Despite the boycott calls, the feature had still taken the lead in the French box office.
