European Film Awards: Fatherland in testa con 11 candidature, nessun italiano in lizza

Sono state annunciate ieri le candidature agli European Film Awards, che saranno consegnati quest’anno il 16 gennaio ad Atene.

In testa con ben 11 nominations Fatherland di Pawlikowski, seguito a 10 dallo spagnolo La bola negra.

Tra i cinque migliori film anche l’opera prima La Gradiva, il Leone d’Oro Woman Unknown e la Palma d’Oro Fjord.

Tra i migliori registi a Pawlikowski, Los Javis e Mungiu si uniscono Andrey Zvyagintsev e Sandra Wollner. Gli stessi cinque sono stati scelti anche per le migliori sceneggiature.

Sandra Huller corona un anno fortunatissimo con due candidature per la migliore attrice. Difficile che il premio le sfugga.

Nessun italiano è entrato nelle cinquine, neppure quelle tecniche. Come accade da alcuni anni, anche i migliori documentari e le migliori animazioni concorrono al premio di miglior film europeo.

Di seguito tutte le noninations:
