Jean -Jacques Annaud's the beginning was the fire could win Best Film and Best Director at six nominations in the categories. However, most trophies were the makers of The Trial, who could argue with eight nominations in four categories against the competition. In the category of Best Actress Isabelle Adjani won for her role in her first César Possession and could thereby the Mitnominierten Fanny Ardant, Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Huppert leave behind. The big loser of the night was Bertrand Tavernier's comedy thriller The mess that emanated completely empty for a total of nine nominations.
