On December 9 at the Théâtre Marigny in Paris, Nagui and Leïla Kaddour-Boudadi recorded the premiere of “Bravos d'or” . A ceremony broadcast Wednesday evening in prime time on France 2 during which the biggest cultural successes of 2024, divided into 18 categories, were rewarded.
Although only 926,000 on average followed this evening, many viewers expressed their astonishment when discovering the program's features. “Can someone explain to me the why and how of the “Golden Bravos”? Why do we only see their backs and we see their faces on a poor quality screen in the back of the room? »asks an Internet user on social networks.

Nagui
Nagui and Leïla Kaddour-Boudadi were installed in a small circular area built back from the stage of the Parisian theater, in the middle of the audience. The show was filmed with a single camera from the back of the room and showed the two hosts from behind. A giant screen placed at the back of the stage reproduced the close shots of the different speakers.
“There is no cut. We want to transport viewers through a big screen to have more fluidity”the director explained to us Gerard Pullicino during filming. “We put ourselves in the position of those who look at what could have happenedunderlines Nagui, producer of “Bravos d’or”. We don't have to be on stage because we're not artists. Those who win the trophies come to the public to say thank you to the public for the trophy. »
A bias which was not to the taste of viewers. “So it’s going to be like this all evening!” Why make it complicated when you can make it simple? Incomprehensible achievement »wrote one of them on X. “Quite disconcerting production and staging: filming a giant screen, because the hosts and guests have their backs! A thought for the spectators who find themselves looking at the screen »lamented another.
