Ikke overraskende leder Michael Hanekes rystende Gullpalme-vinner Amour an blant de nominert til årets European Film Awards. Filmen har hele seks muligheter til å stikke av med pris, for henholdsvis film, regi, manuskript (Haneke), skuespiller (Jean-Louis Trintignant), skuespillerinne (Emmanuelle Riva) og foto (Darius Khondji– smått legendarisk for Jeunet & Caros filmer og Se7en).

Prisen har i seg selv alltid havnet i skyggen av de mer glamorøse amerikanske utdelingene og deres britiske stebror BAFTA; samtidig mangler utdelingen mediaoppmerksomheten som tilfaller de store festivalenes palmer og løver. Alt i alt føles ikke European Film Awards som en stor begivenhet eller betydningsfull pris, selv etter fjorten år (den ble etablert i 1988) – i alle fall oppleves det ikke slik i skrivende stund. Utdelingen finner sted 1. desember
