Xavier Dolan

Xavier Dolan stands in the French academy's records under three separate descriptions: director, editor and performer. It's Only the End of the World won him two Cesars at one ceremony in 2017, Best Direction and Best Editing. As a performer he was then nominated for supporting actor in 2022 for Lost Illusions and in 2026 for The Great Arch, heading the billing on neither, standing fourth and second. Mommy was cited by three institutions in 2015: it won the French academy's foreign film Cesar and drew a foreign film nomination from the Italian academy and an international film nomination from the Spirit ceremony. All three of those are written to the film, under his name as its director. Seven of the ten works held here are his own directing jobs, and the most voted is Mommy.
