After winning two Golden Globes, the 2023 Palme d’Or leaves the British ceremony this Sunday, February 18 with a new award. A good omen before the Oscars.

Less than a month before the Oscars, the original screenplay prize was awarded to the French film Anatomy of a Fall, by Justine Triet, this Sunday, February 18. “It’s a fiction and we’re doing reasonably well,” the French filmmaker joked when receiving the prize. The biopic on the father of the atomic bomb Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan established itself as the big winner of the British awards, winning seven Baftas including best film.

The British ceremony hosted by “Doctor Who” star David Tennant, who arrived on stage in a kilt and sequinned top flanked by a dog named Bark Ruffalo, often gives some valuable indications before the Oscars ceremony scheduled less than a month later late, March 10.

With the winning of the golden globes for best screenplay and best foreign language film at the beginning of January, the team around filmmaker Justine Triet can legitimately consider itself in a good position to win the general categories, competing against the same behemoths Barbie, Oppenheimer, Poor Creatures, etc. The filmmaker and her actress, Sandra Hüller, have scoured interviews and all possible meetings to exist in the media and socially in the US biotope in order to put all the chances on their side. Verdict on March 10.
