'Ghost Writer' sweeps European Film Awards


Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" is almost criminally underrated in the United States (at least as far as I've been able to tell) -- last year's Polanski-fest seems to have kept this utterly superb suspense film from really shining. It's one of the best films I've seen in all of 2010, and yesterday the European Film Academy responded in kind by giving it six total awards.

Best Film: "The Ghost Writer"
Best Screenwriter: Robert Harris & Roman Polanski for "The Ghost Writer"
Best Director: Roman Polanski for "The Ghost Writer"
Best Actor: Ewan McGregor for "The Ghost Writer"
Best Actress: Sylvie Testud for "Lourdes"

Full list after the jump.



Best Composer: Alexandre Desplat for "The Ghost Writer"
Best Production Designer: Albrecht Konrad for "The Ghost Writer"
Best Editor: Luc Barnier and Marion Monnier for "Carlos"
Carlo di Palma Cinematographer Award: Giora Bejach for "Lebanon"
Best Animated Feature Film: "The Illusionist"
People's Choice Award: "Mr. Nobody"
Achievement in World Cinema: Gabriel Yared
Best Documentary: "Nostalgia de la Luz (Nostalgia for the Light)"
Best Short Film: "Hanoi -- Warsaw"
Discovery Award: Lebanon
