She was nominated in 2003 for the César for Most Promising Actress in Filles perdues, cheveux gras. Then for Best Actress in 2008 for Darling, 2012 for Polisse, which had premiered in Cannes Competition 2011, again in 2017 for Irréprochable and in 2018 for L’Atelier, which had premiered in Un Certain Regard 2017. She appeared in the 2018 Gilles Lellouche comedy Le Grand Bain (Cannes 2018) and the Antoine Raimbault drama Une Intime Conviction. On stage, Marina Foïs portrayed Hervé Guibert for several months in « Les Idoles » by Christophe Honoré, which earned her a nomination for this year’s Molière Awards.
