The Cesar Award is the main national film award of France, presented every year by the Academie des Arts et Techniques du Cinema. It was created by the producer Georges Cravenne as the French equivalent of the American Academy Awards. The trophy is a compressed metal sculpture by the artist Cesar Baldaccini, from whom the prize takes its name. Awards are given for categories such as best film, directing, acting, screenplay and music, and the ceremony is held in Paris. Winning a Cesar brings prestige in the French film world, and the awards have sometimes been the subject of debates about diversity and about the conduct of people in the industry.
