Cerermony - César 2022 : Cate Blanchett will receive a César of Honor

By Mulder, 17 december 2021

Australian actress and producer of international renown, twice Oscar winner, Cate Blanchett will receive, on Friday February 25, 2022 on the stage of the Olympia, the César d'Honneur of the 47th César ceremony. While she has just finished the production of the film "TAR" directed by Todd Field, we will have the pleasure of seeing her again in theaters early this year in "Nightmare Alley" by Guillermo del Toro.

Co-founder and director of the production company Dirty Films, along with her partners Andrew Upton and Coco Francini, Cate Blanchett is a multi-faceted artist who works in film, television and theater.

Since her acting debut, her career has been marked by international nominations and awards: Golden Globe for Best Actress in a dramatic film in 1999 for her portrayal of Queen "Elizabeth", in the film by Shekhar Kapur; Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 2005 for her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese's "Aviator" ; Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival in 2007 for her daring portrayal of singer Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There"; Oscar for Best Actress in 2014 for her role in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine"; Stanley Kubrick Award for Excellence in Film in 2018...

Cate Blanchett amazes audiences with each of her appearances, whether as the bewitching elven queen in Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" trilogies, as an evil goddess in Taika Waititi's "Thor: Ragnarok", or love-struck in David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" or Todd Haynes' "Carol".

Outside of the stage, Cate Blanchett is also actively involved in women's rights and ecology. Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, the Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum in Davos was awarded to her in 2018 for her work and dedication.
With immense admiration, we will cheer him on the stage of the Olympia to present him with an Honorary Caesar for this absolutely remarkable career and personality.
