The Academy Awards aren’t the only prestigious awards ceremony with an all-male best director race. The César awards, France’s equivalent to the Oscars, announced nominees on Wednesday, and zero women are up for Best Director. As is the case with the Oscars, just one title helmed by a woman is in the running for Best Picture, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi’s “Forever Young,” a portrait of a young actress in the ’80s. (Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking” is up for Best Picture at the Oscars.)
Deadline reports that “action tank” Le Collectif 50/50, which is dedicated to promoting equality and diversity in the entertainment industry, has launched a campaign in response to the snubs, #CesarSoMale.
