Awards Roundup: ‘The Ghost Writer’ Scores at European Film Awards; ‘The King’s Speech’ Takes British Independent Film Awards
6 December 2010 10:30 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
It's that time of the year when there will be one film awards ceremony and/or critical poll after another, and we've got the results of three to kick off this week. The European Film Awards took place in Estonia over the weekend, and Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer scored six awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor, the latter for Ewan McGregor. Meanwhile, at the British Independent Film Awards, The King's Speech took best picture, while Monsters director Gareth Edwards scored Best Director. And the Washington, DC Area Film Critics Association honored The Social Network, Inception and The Fighter. All the lists are after the break. We'll kick off with the DC critics, because it's the shortest list. It's also a very safe list, with very little consideration for films outside the expected list of studio and studio-indie awards choices. (Also nominated: 127 Hours, Black Swan, True Grit »

The 23rd European Film Awards Photo credit: Efa/René Velli
Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer triumphed at this year’s European Film Academy’s 23rd European Film Awards. The film, which I have reviewed here, took the best screenwriter, composer, director and the overall film award, at a ceremony on Saturday (04/12/2010) in snowy Tallinn, Estonia – European Capital of Culture 2011. The best animated feature film award went to Sylvain Chomet’s Illusionist – watch this space for a review in the next few days.
Around 1,400 guests were welcomed by German comedy star Anke Engelke and Estonian actor Märt Avandi who were the show’s hosts and over 2,300 members of the European Film Academy are said to have voted at the awards. The individual awards were presented by a line-up of European actors and actresses, among them Efa Ambassador Maria de Medeiros (Portugal), Jean-Marc Barr (France), Hannelore Elsner (Germany), Nikolaj Lie Kaas »

Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" Tops 23rd European Film Awards
5 December 2010 5:55 PM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" dominated the 23rd European Film Awards winning six trophies including best film, best director for Polanski, best actor for Ewan McGregor, best screenwriter for Polanski and Robert Harris, best production designer for Albrecht Konrad, and best composer for Alexandre Desplat. ("The Ghost Writer" movie review)
Polanski accepted his awards live via Skype from his home in Paris since he can't travel outside France, Switzerland, or Poland because there's still a U.S. warrant out for his arrest on sex charges from the 1970s. ("The Ghost Writer" interviews with Pierce Brosnan and Olivia Williams)

2010 European Film Award Winners Announced; The Ghost Writer Wins Six
5 December 2010 2:00 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The 2010 European Film Award Winners were announced this weekend, and the big takeaway is that the European Film Academy really liked The Ghost Writer. The Roman Polanski-directed feature was warmly received on this side of the Atlantic, but I’d be shocked if it swarms the Oscars with quite the ferocity it did the EFAs. Six awards in total, including best film, director (Polanski), actor (Ewan McGregor), screenwriter (Polanski and Robert Harris), production designer (Albrecht Konrad), and composer (Alexandre Desplat).
The ceremony wasn’t entirely Ghost-written, though: Lourdes, The Illusionist, Carlos, and Lebanon were among the other winners. Hit the jump for the full list.

European Film Awards, Ida Awards and a Few More Lists
5 December 2010 8:48 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
The European Film Awards were presented this evening in Tallinn, Estonia, and it's turned out to be a good night for Roman Polanski and The Ghost Writer. The loot: European Film (in this case, meaning "best"), Director, Screenwriter (Polanski and Robert Harris), Actor (Ewan McGregor), Composer (Alexandre Desplat) and Production Design (Albrecht Konrad).
European Actress: Sylvie Testud (for her performance in Jessica Hausner's Lourdes). The European Discovery Prix Fipresci, presented to a director for his or her first feature, goes to Samuel Maoz for Lebanon. Maoz noted that he was pleasantly surprised to be discovered as he nears the age of 50. The film also picked up the Carlo Di Palma European Cinematographer Award for Giora Bejach.
The Documentary Prix Arte goes to Patricio Guzmán's Nostalgia for the Light; Jaco van Dormael's Mr Nobody has won the People's Choice Award. Animated Feature: Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist. Editing: »
"The Ghost Writer" Haunts Europe. Can it Win American Oscar Nods?
5 December 2010 6:21 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The European Film Awards were held yesterday in Estonia's capital Tallin (next year the ceremony will be in Malta). Roman Polanski and Ewan McGregor both appeared via the wonders of the internet (you may have heard Polanski doesn't travel much) to accept for The Ghost Writer. The mystery thriller about a politician under fire and the two sorry writers who attempt to ghost his memoirs is filled with twists. It opened way back in March 2010 but it's apparently not done surprising us. Against the odds, it's been resurfacing in the awards conversation... and not just here. It took home a record-breaking 6 prizes, only losing "people's choice".
The previous Efa record holders, according to Screen Daily, were Spain's Talk to Her (2002) and Germany's Goodbye Lenin (2003) both of which, we foreign film Oscar obsessed must note, notoriously missed out on Oscar's Foreign Film category in their years (albeit for different reasons).

The political thriller won Best Picture, Director (Roman Polanski), Actor (Ewan McGregor), Screenwriter (Robert Harris & Polanski), Production Design (Albrecht Konrad) and Composer (Alexandre Desplat), losing just the editing race to "Carlos" cutters Luc Barnier and Marion Monnier. Based on Harris' bestseller, "The Ghost Writer" pits the struggling title character, played by McGregor, against a former British Pm (Pierce Brosnan) and his wife (Olivia Williams). The film unspooled stateside last winter, and earned generally good reviews, meriting 77 at Meta Critic and 80 with the top tier at Rotten Tomatoes. Among the most enthusiastic reviewers was Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) who hailed the film as, "the work of a man who knows how to direct a thriller. Smooth, calm, confident, i »
The Ghost Writer Wins Big At European Film Awards

The Ghost Writer, directed by Roman Polanski, won six awards at the 2010 European Film Awards, held tonight in Tallinn, Estonia.
The film won awards for best film, best director, best screenplay, best actor, best production design, and best composer. I really enjoyed the film. Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor were great in this film. I was surprised to find out that all of the shots that took place in the house were actually filmed on a sound stage.

Polanski's Ghost Writer Dominates 4th European Film Awards
4 December 2010 2:40 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Award season is among us on both sides of the Atlantic. Today the European Film Academy handed out their annual awards in Tallinn, Estonia and the big winner of the evening was Roman Polanski's Ghost Writer, claiming six awards, including Best Picture. Lebanon Israeli's Golden Lion winner of 2009, collected a pair: the award for European discovery, handed out to first time directors ("it's an honor being discovered when you're close to 50", said 48 year old director Samuel Maoz upon receiving the award), and the award for Best Cinematography, handed to Giora Bejach, for his extraordinary work, shooting an (almost) entire film from the Pov of a tank. Lebanon has an enormous artistic appeal, as it demonstrates the claustrophobic feeling leading audiences to believe the film was shot within the confines a tank, when in reality, Maoz didn't have a tank at his disposal. Israeli audiences didn't seem to connect to the film, »
Polanski Sweeps European Film Awards
4 December 2010 2:31 PM, PST | Deadline London | See recent Deadline London news »
The Ghost Writer has won 6 European Film Academy awards, the European equivalent of the Oscars, this evening in Tallinn, Estonia. Polanski’s thriller won Best European Film, while Polanski picked up Best Director and shared the screenwriting award with co-author Robert Harris. Ewan McGregor won Best Actor, while production design and music were also honored. In an interview this weekend, Harris said the Swiss authorities were so understanding about Polanski’s need to finish editing The Ghost Writer, they moved editing equipment into the prison where he was being held while facing deportation back to the U.S last year. More than 2,300 academy members voted.

Efa Noms: Of Gods and Ghost Writers with Secrets in Their Eyes

The European Film Award nominations have been announced and what we have this year is an interesting mix of two separate years of Oscar's Foreign Film contest alongside one English language feature: Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer. Side note: I had thought that the film was simply called The Ghost in Europe (?) but perhaps I misremembered.
The Ghost sizes up his competition at the European Film Awards
As faithful readers know I reject the notion that any group should be judged in accordance with how they "influence" or "predict" the Oscars as I think the only true worth of any group is whether or not they have their own identity or any sanity when it comes to proclaiming what is "best."
But, that said, I do think all awards bodies offer us interesting nuggets of ideas about the way votes reveal collective consensus thoughts that might help us in »
