What happened to the pied-noirs in Algeria was genocide, full stop. Yes, they were "colonists," but that doesn't change anything (aren't Arabs also colonists in North Africa?). Imagine if White Americans or Canadians ("descendants of colonists") were given a choice between the "suitcase or the coffin" (literally what the Europeans in Algeria were presented with) as some kind of decolonization effort by Third Worlders. Algeria was all the pied-noirs had known for generations, and what befell them gets swept under the rug due to the post-World War II (dis)order.

As usual, the people were sold out by their political "leaders." The 1968 accord between France and Algeria afforded them privileged migration for the purposes of cheap, nominally French-speaking labor. French nationalists are trying to get it repealed.
Signed six years after Algeria gained independence from France, the 1968 agreement allows for Algerians and their families to obtain French residency certificates – similar to residency permits issued to other foreigners – through an expedited procedure.

Algerians are also allowed to set up as freelancers or start their own businesses without the extra formalities other foreigners may face.

Didn't see any of the nominated movies this year, and don't really care to. The record-breaking DEI movie Sinners is categorized "Films critical of Christianity and Christians" on Wikipedia.

Decent film but definitely has an anti-Christian slant to it. That said, the chiefest critiques of Christianity come from the mouth of a demon-vampire. I thought this video covered it pretty well:
