Jean-Pascal Zadi, Alice Belaïdi, Raphaël Quenard and many others at the helm of the ceremony

The César ceremony, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, will be hosted by a host of actors and chaired by Catherine Deneuve.

There will be thirteen of them on stage on February 28, to host the 50th César ceremony, chaired by actress Catherine Deneuve.

“Happy to announce that Jean-Pascal Zadi will present the next César Ceremony, with Emmanuelle Béart, Alice Belaïdi, Cécile de France, Hafsia Herzi, Bouli Lanners, William Lebghil, Vincent Macaigne, Pio Marmaï, Vimala Pons, Raphaël Quenard, Ludivine Sagnier and Justine Triet, directed by Cédric Klapisch and chaired by Catherine Deneuve”, published Canal+ on X this Friday January 24.

College presentation

The academy had already announced in October 2024 that it had chosen the director of The Spanish Inn for “his artistic sensitivity and his unique perspective”.

For several years, the collegial presentation has been required. The 2024 Césars were thus punctuated by the appearances of Ariane Ascaride, Bérénice Bejo, Dali Benssalah, Juliette Binoche, Dany Boon, Bastien Bouillon, Audrey Diwan, Ana Girardot, Diane Kruger, Benoît Magimel, Paul Mirabel, Nadia Tereszkiewicz. And Jean-Pascal Zadi, who is back this year.

Until 2022, a sole master of ceremonies will be responsible for the presentation and entertainment of the evening. Antoine de Caunes is thus the last to have assumed this role in 2022. Before him, Marina Foïs, Florence Foresti, Kad Merad or Jérôme Commandeur carried out this task.
