Canadian-American actor Jim Carrey was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 51st César Awards in France, and received a standing ovation from the guests present. Jim Carrey delivered a speech of thanks in French with an American accent: "About 300 years ago, my great-great-great-grandfather Marc-François Carré (Marc-François Carré) was born in Saint-Malo, France, and then immigrated to Canada.

Tonight, with this honor, Carré/Carrey’s journey returns to its starting point. My father, Percy Joseph Carey, was the funniest man I knew, and he taught me about love, generosity, and the weight of laughter. "
Jim Carrey attended the award ceremony with his girlfriend, daughter, and grandson. He was respectful in front of the cultural ancestors. He did not hesitate to express his thanks in French and rolled his tongue: "How about it? My French is not bad. Please forgive me. I am still learning, but my tongue is too tired."

In addition, French Culture Minister Rachida Dati, who had decorated Expedition 33, submitted her resignation to French President Macron on Wednesday morning local time to pursue her dream of becoming the mayor of Paris. Dati said this is the most important battle in his life. The Paris mayoral election will be held in 20 days.

Catherine Pégard, who has worked as a film journalist and managed the Palace of Versailles, has become the new French Minister of Culture.

The top priority for Pegar after taking office is to prevent the movie box office from shrinking while ensuring that the budget does not decline again. The total cultural budget during Dati's term has dropped from 4.4 billion in 2025 to 4.2 billion this year. Subsidies for French teenagers to watch movies and concerts have also been cut in half: 15-17 year olds will no longer receive money, and 18-year-olds will receive 150 euros per year (originally 300 euros).
And she also failed to retain the director of the Louvre, Laurence de Carr (pictured right). After Dati resigned as culture minister, de Carr also resigned sadly, and Christophe Leribeau took over as director of the Louvre.
