COLOGNE, Germany -- Marc Rothemund's Nazi-resistance drama Sophie Scholl -- The Final Days, already a front-runner for nomination in this year's foreign-film Oscar race, added another German award to its long list of honors Friday night, winning the Bavarian Film Prize for best film. Sophie Scholl, which recounts the final days in the life of the eponymous resistance fighter, already piled up multiple honors at last year's Berlin International Film Festival as well as the German and European Film Awards. The Life of Others, a Cold War thriller set in communist East Germany that marked the feature debut of television director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, was the other big Bavarian Film Prize winner. Star Ulrich Muehe was named best actor, and von Donnersmarck received best script and best newcomer honors as well as the VGF Prize.
