Jacques Audiard

Jacques Audiard's trophy shelf is remarkable. He is the all-time record holder for César Awards with 13 wins, three of which came as trifectas for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. His 2025 Oscar for Best Original Song capped a career that already included three BAFTAs and three Golden Globes. At Cannes, he has won four prizes, including the Palme d'Or, cementing his status among the world's elite directors. His ability to move between French, English, and Spanish-language cinema while maintaining critical and commercial success is unmatched.
