European Film Award Nominations 2006

Non che sia un premio così riconosciuto, ma per la cronaca e gli archivi si può riportare che sono state annunciate le nomination ai prossimi European Film Awards, che verranno consegnati il 2 dicembre a Varsavia.
Due gli italiani in gara: Emanuele Crialese per la regia di "Nuovomondo" e Silvio Orlando per l'interpretazione ne "Il Caimano".
Inutile puntualizzare che nessuno dei due sembrerebbe essere tra i favoriti.
Di seguito le candidature delle categorie principali.
