The Nominations for the 2019 European Film Academy Awards were revealed this afternoon at the Seville European Film Festival, with Pedro Almodovar’s Pain And Glory, Roman Polanski’s An Officer And A Spy and Marco Bellocchio’s The Traitor leading the way with four nominations each.
The trio are all up for best European film alongside Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, just behind with three nominations including best actress for Olivia Colman, and Ladj Ly’s Les Misérables, with two nominations.
Portrait Of A Lady On Fire missed out in the best film category, but did earn best director and screenwriter nods for Céline Sciamma, and a joint best actress nomination for the film’s stars Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel.
