The 44th César Awards took place on February 22, 2019 in the Salle Pleyel in Paris ; the nominations were announced on January 23, 2019. The film prizes awarded by the French Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma were awarded in 22 categories. There were also three special categories, including a César in the “César des lycéens” category for the first time in 2019: Pupils from general and technical high schools as well as vocational high schools throughout France were able to award a prize to one of the seven nominated films in the Best Picture category. This César is a cooperation between the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma and the Ministère de l'Education nationale et de la Jeunesse.
The award ceremony, dedicated to Charles Aznavour , who died in October 2018, was broadcast live on the French television channel Canal + . As host ("maître de cérémonie") comedian and actor Kad Merad led through the evening, the annually changing chairmanship of the gala was taken over by Kristin Scott Thomas .
With ten nominations each, After the Judgment (Director: Xavier Legrand ) and A Basin Full of Men (Director: Gilles Lellouche ) went to the gala evening as favorites. Even before the broadcast, it was clear that Robert Redford would receive the honorary award ("César d'honneur").
