France Cesar Awards

A man walks by the Academie des Cesar headquarters where a graffiti reads "Violanski, Cesar awards of shame", playing with the French word for rape and the name of Roman Polanski, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 in Paris. French women's rights activists are plastering banners to protest multiple nominations for Roman Polanski at the Cesar Awards ceremony, France's equivalent of the Oscars. This year's Cesars have been shaken by boycott calls since the nominations for Polanski's "An Officer and a Spy," because a French woman recently accused Polanski of raping her in the 1970s, which he denies.
