European Film Awards - 2005 Winners
by Andre Soares
Michael Haneke’s compelling — and quite disturbing — Caché / Hidden was the big winner at the European Film Awards held today in Berlin. Caché won the Best European Film Award, Haneke was voted Best Director, Daniel Auteuil was Best Actor, and the picture also won the Best Editing Award for Michael Hudecek and Nadine Muse.
Berlin Film Festival winner Julia Jentsch won the Best European Actress Award for her superb portrayal of one of the young leaders of the anti-Nazi German resistance movement in Sophie Scholl - Die Letzten Tage / Sophie Scholl - The Final Days. Jentsch also won the Jameson People’s Choice Award, and so did Sophie Scholl’s director, fellow Berlin Film Festival winner Marc
Rothemund. Orlando Bloom was the People’s Choice for best actor in Kingdom of Heaven.
The controversial Paradise Now, which has been accused of humanizing suicide bombers, won the Best Screenplay Award for Hany Abu-Assad and Bero Beyer.
The Best Non-European Film was George Clooney’s classy Good Night, and Good Luck.
