While American film critics circles orgs and associations prep their year end "best" reveals, let's hop overseas for a moment. The European Film Awards were held in Berlin, Germany yesterday. It was a very good day to be Danish.
Though Mads Mikkelsen (left) is often seen in American and British films he frequently headlines Danish films too and was honored with a world cinema tribute. Lars von Trier, the maddest prince of Denmark since Hamlet, won the top prize for Melancholia. Though von Trier lost Best Director, he lost it to fellow Dane Susanne Bier who recently also won the Oscar (Best Foreign Language Film, In A Better World.) All three were born within a nine year span in Copenhagen!

Documentary Pina (Wim Wenders)
Animated Feature Chico & Rita (Tono Erranda, Javier Mariscal & Fernando Trueba)

The European Film Awards winners have little influence if none on the award ceremonies stateside, but it’s still interesting to note the differences between the European picks and those by the Americans. Tonight the award ceremony presented their winners and Melancholia tied Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech as the big winners, each taking three awards. I’m not sure why The King’s Speech qualifies as a 2011 contender, considering it was released in the UK before it ever hit North American shores in 2010, but the same can be asked about Susanne Bier’s In A Better World.
Below is the complete list of winners.

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:...

Best known for his now viral performance as Hitler in the brilliant Oliver Hirschbiegel film, Downfall, actor Bruno Ganz is finally about to get his day in the spotlight, thanks to the European Film Academy.
According to Anne Thompson, the actor, and star of the wonderful Wim Wenders film, Wings Of Desire, will be given a special award at the European Film Awards, when they take place on December 4.
Personally, this has been a long time coming, and something that is more than deserved. Continuing to work today in films like The Reader, the actor has a marvelous filmography, particularly the Criterion staple Wings, a powerful and visually striking film, that features a performance from Ganz that is so haunting, that it is easily one of the best that I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t given the film a chance, Wings Of Desire is an absolute must own,...
