On February 28th, the American actress Julia Roberts will be awarded an honorary César at the 50th awarding of the most prestigious French film awards, the organizers announced on Monday.
The first role that made this American actress famous in 1990 was the role of the prostitute Vivian Ward in the movie “Pretty Woman”. She was then 23 years old, and her partner was Richard Gere.
She filmed several other romantic comedies that achieved huge success, such as “Notting Hill”, and won an Oscar for the role of a whistleblower in the film “Erin Brokovic” from 2001.
Even today, she is one of the most famous and beloved actresses of American cinema, and is also known for her humanitarian and environmental engagements.
This year, French director and actress Agnès Jaoui and British director Christopher Nolan will receive the honorary César for their entire career.
Actress Catherine Deneuve will host the prestigious awards ceremony, which will be broadcast on Kanal+.
Nominations should be announced on January 29th. Last year’s 49th edition saw the triumph of Justine Triet’s film “Anatomy of a Fall” (César for best film and best director).
