Anatomy of a Fall has continued its awards season hot streak with 11 nominations for France’s César Awards.

The legal thriller was nominated for Best Film, Best Director for Justine Triet, Best Original Screenplay for Triet and Arthur Harari, Best Actress for its German leading lady Sandra Hüller and Male Revelation for its child star Milo Machado Graner, among other categories.

It did not top the nominations, however, as Thomas Cailley’s fantasy drama The Animal Kingdom, set in a world where humans begin to turn into animals, picked up 12. Anatomy of a Fall came in second, followed by Jeanne Herry’s All Your Faces with nine, and The Goldman Case with eight.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, another awards season hit, was nominated for Best Foreign Film. Nolan will attend the ceremony to receive an honorary César along with French director Agnès Jaoui.

Triet has enjoyed remarkable international success since she became the third female director to win the Palme d’Or for her courtroom thriller at the Cannes Film Festival in May last year.

The movie won best screenplay and best foreign film at the Golden Globes earlier this month and has been nominated for seven BAFTAs and five Oscars.

When the Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday, Triet was the only woman shortlisted for Best Director. The film was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Editing.

It was not nominated for Best International Feature Film because French movie officials chose The Taste of Things as the country’s submission instead – and it did not make the final five.

The 2024 Césars will be held at L’Olympia in Paris on 23 February, while the Oscars will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on 10 March.
