To facilitate the vote of the members of the Academy, the Revelations committee chose 32 female and male revelations in the running, which appeared to them to be particularly remarkable on the big screen.
All the names have been revealed and yet some very popular faces of French cinema in 2024 have not been named. For its evening of February 28, which will mark the 50e edition of the ceremony, the Académie des César communicated on Wednesday November 13 the list of the 32 female and male revelations in the running. Chaired by Catherine Deneuve and directed by Cédric Klapisch, this evening will reward the new faces of the French cinematographic panorama.
For the occasion, filmmaker Vanessa Filho will feature the new faces of French cinema in a short film, which will be unveiled on January 20 during the Revelations evening. However, as with every edition, it is the missing names that are most striking.

Not an actor Comte de Monte Cristo
While the adaptation of the novel by Alexandre Dumas widely appealed to the public in 2025 with more than nine million admissions at the French box office, no actor from the film was selected for the 2025 César Awards. Thus, among male hopes, the absence of Vassili Schneider et Julian of Saint-Jeansurprises, as well as that of Paul Kircher, yet rewarded at the Venice Festival for his performance in Their children after them. Still absent from the male nominations: the singer and actor Sofiane Zermani for his role in Barbès, Little Algeria was also not selected. Perhaps too old (38 years old) to embody a “revelation”. As for the female nominations, the actresses Clara-Maria Laredo for his notable role in In his image, Joan Benedetti In The Kingdom, et Lou Lampros pour Live, die, be reborn, missing.
