European Film Awards love 'Amour'
Oscar contender "Amour" won European Film Awards for picture, director Michael Haneke, actor Jean-Louis Trintignant and actress Emmanuelle Riva. Details from Leo Barraclough of Variety here, including this nice note:
... The European Film Academy bestowed its lifetime achievement award on Italian helmer Bernardo Bertolucci, and the Achievement in World Cinema award went to Helen Mirren. Bertolucci, who was brought to the stage in a wheelchair, joked after he took the award: "Maybe this is the beginning of 'The Intouchables 2.' "
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
