Half of the films initially planned

But the pretty surge of French stars expected should not make us forget that in 2020, cinemas remained open for barely six months, with the consequence of postponing the release of 110 to 120 films because of the pandemic. .

And there were only around 120 films eligible for nominations, namely theatrically released during the year, half as many as last year.

This had prompted, at the beginning of the week, some professionals to entrust to 20 Minutes their doubts about the interest of maintaining this edition of the César 2021.
