The César Award is the national film award of France, first given out in 1975. The nominations are selected by the members of the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinema. The award is the French equivalent of the American Academy Awards.

The nationally televised award ceremony is held in the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris each February.

The name of the award comes from the sculptor César Baldaccini (1921-1998). The trophies are actual sculptures of the artist. The 33d César 2008 will be held Friday 22 February.
