Dany Boon has been named as the President of the Jury for the 2015 César Awards (French Oscars). Most famous for his film Bienvenu Chez les Ch'tis , the most watched film in French cinema history, Boon called for the Academy to give more weigh to comedy. In 2009 at the ceremony he appeared in orange tracksuit joggers and dinner jacket to plead his case. His "media adviser" had said that "if you haven't got a Cesar by 40 you've wasted your life!" Boon was 42 at the time.
Having watched the splendid "Les Vacances de M Hulot" this week we can all agree that M Boon has a point - let's take comedy seriously.
