A few big awards announce nominees and winners in the next few days, including the New York, Los Angeles, and Boston Film Critics, and well as nominees for the Broadcast Film Critics (Critics' Choice Awards), and the Golden Globes.
But a bit of news featuring some high-level contenders in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
Firstly, THE WHITE RIBBON, Germany's official entry, took home 3 European Film Awards today, including best screenplay, best director, and best picture. A PROPHET, France's official entry, took home best actor.
Also, SAMSON AND DELILAH, the offical entry for Australia, took home 6 awards in the Australian Film Awards, not counting the member's choice award, the film also won for best sound, best cinematography, best young actor, best original screenplay, best director, and best picture.
It looks like we have a few definite frontrunners in this category this year. It'll be interesting to see what makes the shortlist of finalists, but if I had to make up my list of 9 possible finalists, here it is...
"Ajami" -- Israel
"Baaria" -- Italy
"I Killed My Mother" -- Canada
"Max Manus" -- Norway
"Mother" - South Korea
"Samson and Delilah" -- Australia
"The Secret in Her Eyes" -- Argentina
"Un Prophet" -- France
"The White Ribbon" -- Germany
