‘The Zone of Interest,’ ‘Fallen Leaves’ Lead European Film Awards Race, Followed by ‘Anatomy of a Fall’

Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” and Aki Kaurismäki’s “Fallen Leaves” led the European Film Awards race after nominations for the major categories were revealed Tuesday.

The films were nominated in all five major categories – European film, director, screenwriter, actor and actress.

Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” was close behind with four nominations – film, director, screenwriter and actress.

All three films were prizewinners at Cannes: “The Zone of Interest” took the festival’s Grand Prize, “Fallen Leaves” won the Jury Prize, and “Anatomy of a Fall” was the Palme d’Or winner.

Agnieszka Holland’s “Green Border,” the Special Jury Prize winner at Venice, took three nominations – film, director and screenwriter.

“Me Captain,” Venice’s best director winner, and “The Teachers’ Lounge” each nabbed two nominations.

“Afire,” “Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry,” “How to Have Sex,” “La Chimera” and “The Promised Land” took one nomination each in major categories.

Special mention should go to Sandra Hüller, who was nominated twice for best actress – for “Anatomy of a Fall” and “The Zone of Interest.” She won the European Film Award in 2016 for “Toni Erdmann.”

The documentary nominees were “Apolonia, Apolonia,” “Four Daughters,” “Motherland,” “On the Adamant” and “Smoke Sauna Sisterhood.”

The nominations are based on the votes of the 4,600 members of the European Film Academy.

The Academy also revealed the nominations for the European Discovery category, which was selected by FIPRESCI, the international federation of film critics. The nominated films were “20,000 Species of Bees,” “How to Have Sex,” “La Palisiada,” “Safe Place,” “The Quiet Migration” and “Vincent Must Die.”

The Academy members will now vote for the winners for all categories, who will be revealed at the awards ceremony on Dec. 9 in Berlin.

The nominations were announced in a video by teenagers from across Europe, all members of the newly launched European Film Club.
