Roman Polanski stepped down from presiding over next month's César awards after his nomination sparked outrage, which included a petition with over 61k signatures calling for a boycott of the event.

It was said that the outrage 'profoundly saddened' the director and that he would no longer preside because of the 'unjustified' row this had caused.
