So, you need to pass to fastcgi anything except /, /index.html,
and anything starting with /css/, /images/, and /js/, right?

Most simple solution would be exactly this, by defining a catch-all
"location /" to pass anything to fastcgi, and explicitly excluding
required paths using additional locations:

root /var/www/my-project/html;
index index.html;

location / {
fastcgi_pass ...
include fastcgi_params;
}

location = / {}
location = /index.html {}
location /css/ {}
location /images/ {}
location /js/ {}
