Michel Hazanavicius

In 2012 a single Michel Hazanavicius film entered the records of four institutions. The French academy's directing César went to him for The Artist, and the Spirits gave him their directing award; both of those stand in his own name. A European film award from the Spanish academy went to the same work, while the European Union film category of the Italian academy took it as a nominee; those two are film categories. The Spirits further nominated him that year in a screenplay category. His next two César items are not in directing but in adaptation, in 2023 and in 2025, the second for The Most Precious of Cargoes. Our catalogue models no writing credit, so neither of those two is reflected here. Seven works are catalogued, six directed by him, and the vote weight rests on the film those four institutions met over, The Artist.
