Sandra Hüller is competing against herself at the European Film Awards. The German actress got two of the six Best European Actress nominations announced Saturday, for Markus Schleinzer’s Rose and Paweł Pawlikowski’s Fatherland. At the Oscars she’s campaigning in Best Actress for Rose and Best Supporting Actress for Fatherland. The European Film Awards have no supporting categories, so both performances are in the same race. Fatherland led all films with 11 nominations.
Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi’s La Bola Negra is right behind with 10. Cristian Mungiu’s Fjord, this year’s Palme d’Or winner, is third with five. All three films are nominated for Best European Film, Director, and Screenwriter.
Hüller’s competition for Best European Actress is Penélope Cruz (Bunker), Léa Seydoux (Gentle Monster), Renate Reinsve (Fjord), and Mathilde Arcel (Woman Unknown). The Best European Actor nominees are Sebastian Stan (Fjord), Javier Bardem (The Beloved), Andrew Scott (Elsinore), Swann Arlaud (A Man of His Time), and Hanns Zischler, who plays Thomas Mann opposite Hüller in Fatherland.
On the documentary side, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s Naza leads with three nominations: Best European Film, Documentary, and Sound.
The 39th European Film Awards will be handed out Jan. 16 in Athens. Here’s the full list of nominees.
