César Awards 2006
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2006 César Awards were the 31st edition of the biggest annual film awards in France. The ceremony took place in the Théâtre du Châtelet on February 25, 2006; hosted by Carole Bouquet and presented by Valérie Lemercier.
[edit] Summary
2006's biggest winner was The Beat That My Heart Skipped (De battre mon cœur s'est arrêté), which received 8 awards. Merry Christmas (Joyeux Noël) however, received none. The ceremony was marred by demonstrations by the intermittens (film industry workers), who lobbied for greater rights for temporary contract workers after running onto the stage before the start. The police had to evacuate the protesters, which ultimately led to a 23 minute delay to the start of the proceedings.
