Best actress nominees include Juliette Binoche for Caché, Berlin Film Festival winner Julia Jentsch for Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage, and Audrey Tautou for Un long dimanche de fiançailles / A Very Long Engagement, while among the six performers in the running for the Best Actor Award are Daniel Auteuil for Caché, Jérémie Renier for L’Enfant, and Ulrich Matthes for Der Neunte Tag / The Ninth Day. Hany Abu-Assad and Bero Beyer (for Paradise Now), Mark O’Halloran (for Adam & Paul), and double nominee Michael Haneke (Caché, for which he also received a Best Director nomination) are four of the screenwriters vying for the Best Screenplay Award.
