The European Film Academy has announced the nominations for the 39th European Film Awards, with Paweł Pawlikowski’s “Fatherland” leading the list and “La Bola Negra” close behind. The acting field includes Sandra Hüller, who receives dual best actress nominations, as well as nominees such as Renate Reinsve, Sebastian Stan, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Andrew Scott.
The awards will take place in Greece in January 2027, and the nominations cover 16 categories. Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one highlights the standout acting recognition and additional performance nominees, while another provides a fuller rundown of films and credits. Another focuses on the competition dynamics, describing “Fatherland” in relation to Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika, and presenting “La Bola Negra” in broad terms about a triptych on gay men’s history.
