'Melancholia' leads EFA noms

Posted: Sat., Nov. 5, 2011, 12:03pm PTSEVILLE, Spain-- Lars von Trier's end-of-the-world drama "Melancholia" tops nominations for this year's European Film Awards -- Europe's equivalent of the Oscars -- with eight mentions.

"Melancholia's" noms include best pic, director, actress (both Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gaingsbourg) and screenwriter.

Von Trier's film vies for the pic prize with Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's "The Kid With a Bike," Susanne Bier's "In a Better World," Aki Kaurismaki's "Le Havre," Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" and Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist." "Melancholia's" rivals in the category all snagged four nominations.

Announced Saturday at Spain's Seville Film Festival, noms suggest that EFA members haven't let Von Trier's outburst and ban at Cannes in May damage "Melancholia's" chances of a best pic award, at least at this nomination stage.

The Cannes fest declared Von Trier "persona non grata" after he declared he felt "sympathy" for Adolf Hitler at "Melancholia's" press conference.

"I hope that nominations free audiences from prejudices against the film and they see it as just a film," said Golem's Josetxo Moreno, who releases "Melancholia" this weekend in Spain.

The lion's share of EFA noms went to box office hits or auteurs who command international audiences.

In a clear bet on established European helmers, the director award sees the same competitors as the pic prize, replacing Hazanavicius with Hungarian Bela Tarr ("The Turin Horse").

The 24th EFA winners will be unveiled Dec. 3 in Berlin.
