Great to see David Kross get some recognition for The Reader, excellent performance that went ignored last award season.
who keeps nominating this Penelope woman for awards? seriously! ugh!
Afrika…..Shut Up!!!
Thank you.
Tahar Rahim and Charlotte Gainsbourg for the acting awards. GREAT nominations this year
Yay for Penelope and Broken Embraces!
3 direct complaints to my email this week.
More than a dozen recent incidents in comments.
Afrika, banned again.
I only count 3 noms for Antichrist. 5 (or 6, if you count the People’s Choice category) for Slumdog seems worth a mention, though.
Thanks, Guy. Miscounted.
sure, the Slumdog numbers are worth mentioning. Glad you did it so I won’t have to.
I knew this would happen somewhere along the way – The White Ribbon, my favourite film of this year, up against Let the Right One In, my favourite film of the decade. But honestly, A Prophet is a very strong film – and it’s got everything big and in your face going for it, it’s almost epic, as opposed the even more nuanced films I mentioned. I suspect it will do well in this context.
Three noms for “The Reader”, which I am glad to see. Congrats to David Kross.
“Kate Winslet in The Reader (Der Vorleser)”
^__^
I thought I’d never have to see “Slumdog Millionaire” nominated for something again. Didn’t we all have enough last season?
Thank U Ryan….!!!
We couldn’t stand Afrika’s comments…
Dave Kross, yes
Slumdog’s still winning awards. Wait for some more backlash haha. Glad to see Let the Right One In still getting recognition. Can’t wait to see A Prophet and The White Ribbon. Antichrist is my favorite film of the year so far no matter what anybody says. All in all, I’m satisfied, though I will never understand the love for The Reader.
Slimdog was obliterated by Twilight sweep at MTV Movie Awards so, no, it`s not winning everything.
Too bad they didn`t nominate Lena Leandersson for LOTROI but here`s hoping that Cloe Moretz will get awards notice for her sensational work in Kick Ass or for LOTROI remake. 2010 is her year.
Ryan, thank you. Hopefully it will be 2 weeks of bliss and actual discussion on film.
How do people get in touch with you, though?
HAAANEEEEEKEEEEEEEEE!!!
You posted the EUROPEAN FILM ACADEMY PRIX D’EXCELLENCE twice
And what an ugly poster for A Prophet (it seems you don’t love it so much
P)
So strange to see Fly Me to the Moon and Transporter 3 nominated alongside movies like Slumdog and Let the Right One In.
er, thanks taptup.
the official EFA website is messed up.
they have the composers listed as “prix d’excellence”
and the “prix d’excellence” nominees listed as composers.
but I should have caught that.
you know, I actually do sort of like the poster for A Prophet, especially the razor blade font. But it felt wrong to post it all by itself, so I though it was more fair to share headline space with the other top films. You can click those smaller posters to see large versions.
but no, that’s not the most flattering shot of Tahar Rahim, is it?
The SNUB for Giovanna Mezzogiorno in BEST ACTRESS is… HATEFUL! A TRUE SHAME!!! SHAME ON YOU, EUROPEAN FILM ACADEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a shameeeeeeeeeeeee!
Broken Embraces is not vintage Almodovar even if the the themes are. I find that when he makes films about filmmakers he’s being just a bit self indulgent and I’m less engaged. I had the same problem with Bad Education, despite Gael Garcia Bernal in drag!
And despite the nod here, Penelope Cruz’s performance is unlikely to get Oscar attention. It’s fine – she’s always better in Spanish – but nothing special.
Why Prophet’s poster is in russian? It’s cool but why…?
“Slumdog was obliterated by Twilight sweep at MTV Movie Awards so, no, it`s not winning everything.”
I’d like to see NOT winning at the MTV Movie Awards as ACTUALLY winning. But that’s just me.
chrisw — we got my contact email fixed in the sidebar. Just click my name in the Awards Daily 411.
Damn. What a strong year for European cinema. That is all I have to say about that list of movies.
Great to see David Kross nominated and he was seriously overlooked by Oscar. I think he practically matched Kate Winslett in the film. Both amazing performances!!!!!
Look at that Best Picture lineup. Shows that Europe really can compete with USA (if someone even doubted it).
In the order of how I would like to see it go:
1. Let the Right One In (2008’s best film, missed the deadline)
2. The White Ribbon (best film this year)
3. Slumdog Millionaire (to match the Oscar)
The other three should not win, even though they are great. ‘Fisk Tank’ I have not seen.
People’s choice will probably go to ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.
I don’t see it as competing with the USA. I just see it as showing how incredibly fertile European cinema is right now. To be honest, we rarely get to consider European cinema collectively, we always think in terms of national cinema – French, British, Spanish, German, Swedish. But when placed in a collective context, it is a remarkably strong, diverse and rich set of movies. The only weak link, in my opinion, in that list, is The Reader. But there are some stone-cold masterpieces and some extraordinary pieces of art there. I wonder if you will see such a strong shortlist of movies for an award anywhere in the world this year, including at the Oscars.

It’s great seeing The Baader Meinhof Complex continue to get recognition. It’s an excellent film about a very complicated and difficult time
Anyone knows which internaional channels will air European film awards? Is there a page with all channels somwehere?
