César Awards returned to Paris last Friday night, and Justine Triet’s legal drama dominated the ceremony with six wins.

Anatomy of a Fall was the main contender for best film, and it defeated All Your Faces, The Animal Kingdom, The Goldman Case, and Junkyard Dog to take this trophy home. Justine Triet also collected the award for her work as the film’s director.

Anatomy of a Fall came out victorious in four more categories: best actress (Sandra Hüller), best supporting actor (Swann Arlaud), best original screenplay (Justine Triet and Arthur Harari), and best editing (Laurent Sénéchal).

Despite dominating the French version of the Oscars, Anatomy of a Fall hasn’t been chosen as the French submission for the best international feature at the Academy Awards. That didn’t stop it from scoring five nominations in other categories, including best picture, best director, best actress, best original screenplay, and best editing.

The 2024 César Awards took place at the Olympia in Paris on February 23, and the list of major winners also included The Animal Kingdom with five wins and Junkyard Dog with two.

Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” Sweeps 2023 European Film Awards https://omgcheckitout.com/justine-triets-anatomy-of-a-fall-sweeps-2023-european-film-awards/ Mon, 11 Dec 2023 06:18:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=40825 Anatomy of a Fall walked away with Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and it’s not done winning major awards. The list of European Film Awards winners is in, and Justine Triet’s drama led the way after coming out victorious in four major categories.

Anatomy of a Fall was one of the main contenders for the best European film award, and it defeated tough competition in Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves, Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border, and Matteo Garrone’s Me Captain to take this trophy home.

To make the whole thing even more impressive, Anatomy of a Fall came out victorious in all the major categories it was nominated in, including best director (Triet), best screenplay (Triet and Arthur Harari), and best actress (Sandra Hüller).

Despite its recent success on the award season circuit, Anatomy of a Fall won’t be in the running for the best international feature at the Academy Awards. It hasn’t been selected for by France at its entry, but Triet is choosing to focus on the positives after this snub.

“I think now we are so happy because fortunately the movie’s really worked. It’s overcome all these things… You know don’t do films for this… the film no longer belongs to me,” Triet told the reporters at the European Film Awards.

2023 Gotham Awards: “Past Lives”, “Anatomy of a Fall”, & “Beef” Win Big https://omgcheckitout.com/2023-gotham-awards-past-lives-anatomy-of-a-fall-beef-win-big/ Tue, 28 Nov 2023 06:55:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=40720 The Gotham Awards are one of the major ceremonies dedicated to the independent film and they set the stage for the rest of the award season.

Past Lives was one of the front-runners for the best feature trophy, and it managed to live up to the high expectations. It faced tough competition in Passages, Reality, Showing Up, and A Thousand and One but eventually took this award home.

Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall was the only film to walk away with two accolades at this year’s Gotham Awards. It was named the best international feature, in addition to winning the trophy for the best screenplay.

Lily Gladstone (The Unknown Country) and Charles Melton (May December) won big in the acting field and picked up awards for outstanding lead and supporting performance, respectively.

Netflix’s limited series Beef collected two awards in the TV field, including breakthrough series under 40 minutes and outstanding performance in a new series (Ali Wong). It was closely followed by A Small Light, which was named the breakthrough series over 40 minutes.

The 2023 Gotham Awards took place on November 27 at the Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

Justine Triet Makes Cannes Festival History With Palme d’Or Win for “Anatomy of a Fall” https://omgcheckitout.com/justine-triet-makes-cannes-festival-history-with-palme-dor-win-for-anatomy-of-a-fall/ Mon, 29 May 2023 06:25:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=40261 The Cannes Film Festival ended with a bang this weekend, and Justine Triet’s latest film Anatomy of a Fall emerged as the ultimate winner. She made history as only the third woman in the festival’s history to win its highest honor, the prestigious Palme d’Or.

Anchored by the powerful performance by the German actress Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall revolves around a German writer who’s been arrested on murder charges after her husband died under mysterious circumstances at their secluded chalet in the French Alps.

The jury president Ruben Östlund said they had a lot of fun and intense discussions because the lineup this year was very strong, but ultimately decided that Triet should take the top prize home.

“This is a film that everyone stands behind on the jury. One thing that came out [of our deliberations] was that these films created a collective experience. The Palme d’Or winner was an intense experience – it’s what cinema should be,” said Östlund.

Triet’s win was quite historic because she became only the third woman to win Palme d’Or at Cannes. She joins Jane Campion and Julia Ducournau, who was a member of the main competition jury this year, alongside Denis Ménochet, Paul Dano, and Brie Larson.
