Thomas, Gomorrah Triumph
The European Film Awards gave the great Kristin Scott Thomas their best actress honor today for her performance in I've Loved You So Long, and so all is well and right with the world. Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah won big also. The 21st annual ceremony was held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Garrone's film, which will be honored at a dinner party at the Plaza hotel tomorrow night, won best film, best director (i.e., Garrone) and best actor (i.e., Toni Sevillo, who was also honored for his acting in Il Divo ).
Gomorra's six writers -- Maurizio Braucci, Ugo Chiti, Gianni di Gregorio, Massimo Gaudioso, Garrone and Saviano -- shared the best screenwriter award. And Marco Onorato was selected best cinematographer for his work on Gomorra.
Honorary awards were presented to British actress Judi Dench and the founders of the Dogma film movement, Soren Kragh-Jacobsen, Kristian Levring, Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg of Denmark.

Thoroughly deserved wins all round. I was hoping they might spread the love a bit and give something to The Class, but it's hard to argue with Gomorrah's achievement.
And Kristin Scott Thomas deserves every gong going. If the critics' awards don't start waking up to her performance, I'll be mighty annoyed. I mean, Anne Hathaway? Not even close.

this running crush gag about Kristin scott thomas is fun :)))
I agree with you, she's amazing in ILYSL and i'm really happy about this win. Hope she will land a nomination at the BFCA, SAG, globes, and oscars too :)
I didn't see Gomorrah but it did a good box office in France, and i've heard good things about it (and someone said to me it was like an anti-'the godfather').
of course i'm little bit disappointed for 'Entre les murs' (the class)

Gomorrah is one insanely overrated movie.
