Nastri d’Argento 2006 Award Nominations
by Andre Soares
I’ve added another award list, the Nastri d’Argento award nominations from the Union of Italian Journalists. Michele Placido’s Romanzo criminale / Crime Novel, currently in competition at the Berlin Film Festival, received the most nominations, 10 in all, including Best Director and a combined Best Actor nod for its three male principals, Kim Rossi Stuart, Pierfrancesco Favino, and Claudio Santamaria.
Cristina Comencini’s La Bestia nel cuore / Don’t Tell, in the running for this year’s Best Foreign-Language Film Academy Award, received a total of 8 Nastri d’Argento nominations, including Best Director and Best Actress for Giovanna Mezzogiorno. (Mezzogiorno was the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.)
Curiously, there’s no "Best Film" Nastri d’Argento - the equivalent would most likely be a mix of the Best Director and Best Producer awards. Also, one film may receive combined nominations - as the aforementioned three-part Best Actor nod for Romanzo criminale - or share a nomination with another film for the same award, e.g., Paola Comencini (Cristina’s sister) was nominated in the Best Art Direction category for both La Bestia nel cuore and Romanzo criminale.
