The 16th César Awards ceremony, presented by the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma , honoured the best French films of 1990 and took place on 9 March 1991 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris . The ceremony was chaired by Sophia Loren and hosted by Richard Bohringer . Cyrano de Bergerac won the award for Best Film.
During the ceremony, Vanessa Paradis mistakenly announced Judith Godrèche as the winner of Best Newcomer (Female) instead of Judith Henry , then quickly corrected herself.[ 1]
