Gomorra put some lead into the competition at the 21st edition of the European Film Awards grabbing the event’s top prizes: Best European Film, Director, Actor, Screenwriter and Cinematographer of the year. Kristin Scott Thomas further confirmed that she’ll be an Oscar-nominated actress for her role in I've Loved You So Long. Here is the complete list of winners below.
I’m pleased by some of the names and film titles that were nominated in the fifteen categories and especially glad to see that Lance Hammer’s Ballast grabbed six nominations but I’m perplexed by one of the two films it shares a total of six nominations with.
Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah and Paolo Sorrentino's Il Divo grabbed 5 nominations each with Toni Servillo getting nominated as best actor for his parts in both films.
Among the hippest, most avant-garde film events on North America Film Festival circuit, the Montreal Festival of Nouveau Cinema begins today by showcasing a little homegrown talent with the world premiere of Olivier Asselin's A Sentimental Capitalism which will be paired tonight with Next Floor, a Cannes short film winner and possible early Oscar nom favorite from Denis Villeneuve.
