This evening, the Olympia is hosting the 47th Cesar ceremony, broadcast unencrypted on Canal + and on Europe 1. An evening orchestrated by Antoine de Caunes, who returns for his tenth participation as master of ceremonies, accompanied by a troupe remitters, a little stressed.

Stress, and a lot of desire!

"When you set foot on the Olympia set, you say to yourself that there is a part of the room that loves you and the other that hates you", assures Nicolas Maury, the actor revealed by the series 

Ten percent

"Better not to think about it," he says, a bit anxious.

Invited by Antoine de Caunes, he will present a César this evening.

A few minutes on stage, which must be repeated since "it will be a form of choreography", according to the actor.

The actor relies on an anti-stress herbal tea to avoid stage fright, even if he is very happy to participate in the ceremony.

A feeling shared by actress Elsa Zylberstein for whom the Caesars are "always stressful".

Rewarded in 2009 as best actress in a supporting role, she remembers this unforgettable moment: "The Cesar ceremony is always moving, I watched it when I was little, there is always a feeling of celebration."

Pressure for technology

On the auditorium side, a strange ballet takes place: the fifteen cameras also rehearse.

Each their sector!

And to better visualize the placement of talents, photos are installed on the red seats.

Franck Broca directs the show, a "big pressure", but he prepared himself by watching all the films: "We're going to get the looks, the smiles, the emotions... And there will be a waterfall at the opening!"
