Karla Sofía Gascón made her first appearance at the César Awards, where her film 'Emilia Pérez' won seven awards, including Best Film and Best Director for Jacques Audiard. Despite the film's success, Gascón's past offensive tweets have negatively impacted its Oscar chances. Other notable winners included Hafsia Herzi for Best Actress and Alain Chabat for Best Supporting Actor. Julia Roberts received an honorary tribute during the event.
