Thanks to Jeremie.

THR: While no one can foresee the winners, “A Prophet” looks bound to triumph with Jacques Audiard’s prison drama nominated for 13 awards including best film, best director and a best actor and most promising male newcomer nod for the film’s breakout star Tahar Rahim.

Academy voters also gave a hearty reception to Phillipe Lioret’s “Welcome” with 10 nods and Xavier Giannoli’s “In the Beginning” with 11 nominations…

Anne Fontaine’s “Coco Before Chanel” biopic about the famous fashion designer also added some glam to the nominees list with five nominations.
