THE 24th EUROPEAN FILM AWARDS: Berlin, 3 Dec 2011

Live on http://www.europeanfilmawards.euThese awards, even though they are limited to one continent, are so much more credible and full of quality than the Oscars.
With 8 nominations, Melancholia has the most – more than The Artist, more than The King’s Speech. This is a real triumph for von Trier, and well deserved.
And The Kid With a Bike has four, including film, director, screenplay, yet Belgium submits a different film – Bullhead – with no nominations at all here. Another sign of what a disgrace the Academy FL category is.

ESSENTIAL KILLING, 1Maybe because he is a great director and Melancholia is a great film. What a concept – awards recognizing the artistic achievement!
Lars von Trier has never harassed anyone. He has a big mouth and says stupid things. What does that have to do with awards?
If you are going to be consistent Paul, I assume you also think that any museums that have Picasso paintings should be boycotted, since there are many documented cases of his physically abusing women.
Do you Paul? Could you answer this question please?
They judged his work. Only to people who have no concept of what art is would question his nomination for reasons other than their reaction, if negative, after seeing the film.
But of course you haven’t seen it, have you Paul?

London– Lars von Trier’s
end-of-the-world drama “Melancholia” nabbed the best film prize at the European
Film Awards, which were handed out Saturday in Berlin.The pic, which had topped the noms with eight mentions, also took home two
craft prizes, cinematographer for Manuel Alberto Claro, and production designer
for Jette Lehmann.Tom Hooper’s “The King’s Speech” took three prizes: Colin Firth was named
best actor, Tariq Anwar grabbed the editor award, and the film also took the
People’s Choice award, which was voted for by the public.Susanne Bier was named best director for contempo drama “In a Better World,”
and the screenwriter prize went to Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne for “The Kid
With a Bike.”Tilda Swinton was named best actress for troubled teen tale “We Need to Talk

was feted with the European Achievement in World Cinema award.The nominations (including none for Hazanavicius for director) foretold Melancholia’s likely victory. I’d have to check back how often there has been a film/director split, but if it is unusual, that’s where some backlash came in (although with his film winning, it hardly matters – he gets the prize).
Ironically, he lost to a fellow Dane and someone who once was part of the Dogme movement started by von Trier.
Swinton winning over Dunst is interesting – they were also head to head at Cannes, with the latter winning (perhaps, worthy as she is, because it was the easiest place to award Melancholia at the time).
Melancholia has now won both this award and the Sight and Sound international critics’ poll as best film of the year. It is sealing its record as the most acclaimed film of 2011.
ReplyCopy URLThe damn things were live streamed I just learned. Their web site claims they can be watched after the fact, but it doesn’t seem to work.
It sounds (as expected) that von Trier wasn’t there, but he was either shown by remote or recorded a reaction. Anyway, it was a “friendly wave”, with him explaining he will continue his pledge never to speak in public again.

ESSENTIAL KILLING, 1Thanks for this list.
Seems, droll, but would love to see some of these films, particularly “Elena”. I wonder if von Trier is scratching his nuts at the moment?
