The Lumière Awards, France’s version of the Golden Globes, has announced the nominations for its 20th anniversary edition. There is no clear front-runner this year.

Bertrand Bonello’s Yves Saint Laurent biopic Saint Laurent, Benoît Jacquot’s 3 Hearts, starring Gainsbourg and Chiara Mastroianni as sisters who unwittingly fall for the same man, and Eric Lartigau’s Christmas hit La Famille Bélier, about an aspiring singer growing up in deaf family, lead the field with four nominations each including best film.

Céline Sciamma’s gritty urban drama Girlhood (Bande de Fille) and Lucas Belvaux’s chalk-and-cheese romance Not My Type(Pas Mon Genre) and, which were also nominated in the best film category, followed behind with three nominations.

Franco-Mauritanian Abderrahmane Sissako Timbuktu about the impact of Islamic fundamentalism on a rural community in Mali, is the sixth title vying for best film.

The best first film category features a number of award-winning titles which have done well on the festival circuit including Thomas Cailley’s Love At First Fight, which picked up three prizes at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight, and rapper Abd Al Malik’s autobiographical May Allah Bless France! about a delinquent teenager  who turns his life around when he embraces Islam, which won the FIPRESCI prize at Toronto, where it screened in the Discovery section.

In the French-language foreign film category, the Dardennes Two Days, One Night, which is also in the running for a BAFTA, is among the six titles nominated alongside Xavier Dolan’s Mommy and Moroccan filmmaker’s Hisham Ayouch’s powerful urban drama Fevers about a neglected teenager who goes to live a father he barely knows when his mother is sent to jail.

The winners, selected by a jury made of members of the international news community based in France, will be announced at a ceremony at the Espace Pierre Cardin in Paris on Feb 2.

A number of previous winners and honorary presidents are expected to attend this year’s ceremony celebrating the 20th Anniversary.

The event will pay tribute to late French producer Daniel Toscan du Plantier and British journalist Edward Behr who founded the awards.
