Awards
Race for Golden Lola: German Film Award is awarded
It is considered one of the most important awards in the industry: in Berlin the awarding of the German Film Award is again on. Who has opportunities for the coveted trophies?
Will this year’s favorite “September 5” clear the Golden Lola for the best feature film? Or can the drama “in love, your Hilde” prevail over the Nazi resistance fighter Hilde Coppi (1909–1943)? Tonight (from 7:00 p.m.) in Berlin, if you win the German Film Award, one of the most important awards in the industry.
Around 1,700 guests are expected to award Potsdamer Platz. Prices are to be presented by German actors such as Elyas M’Barek, Jella Haase or by director Edward Berger (“Conclave”).
Six productions nominated as the best feature film
The thriller “September 5” by Swiss director Tim Fehma tree about the 1972 Olympic attack in Munich goes to ten and thus with the most nominations into the race, including for the best feature film. At the Oscars this year, the film was nominated for the best original script, but went away empty-handed.
In addition to Andreas Dresen’s drama “in love, your Hilde”, he gets competition from the Polittriller “the seeds of the Holy Feigenbaum” by Mohammad Rasoulof about the mass protests in Iran after the death of young Kurdin Jina Mahsa Amini in September 2022.
In the race for the Golden Lola, the island thriller “Islands” by Jan-Ole Gerster, the music film “Cologne 75” by Ido Fluk and the drama “Vena” by Chiara Fleischhacker are also. In 2024, Matthias Glasner’s drama was recognized as the best feature film.
Awards are awarded in several categories
Prices are awarded in several categories, including directing and acting. Alexander Scheer and Sam Riley are twice nominated this time. Scheer can hope for an award as the best supporting actor in “Cologne 75” or for “in love, your Hilde”. The British Riley is proposed twice for the best male leading role: for “Islands” and “Cranko”.
Leonie Benesch, Liv Lisa Fries and Mala Emde also have opportunities for an award. Similar to the Oscars in the United States, the almost 2,400 members of the film academy also vote on the winners.
Vicky Krieps is the new co-director of the German Film Academy
In addition to the re -elected President Florian Gallenberger, actress Vicky Krieps is new at the head of the organizing German Film Academy. It follows Alexandra Maria Lara, who previously held the management with director Gallenberger as a duo.
The actor Christian Friedel (“The Zone of Interest”, “The White Lotus”) leads through the evening. The ZDF will broadcast the film award live in its streaming portal from 7 p.m. and at 11:30 p.m. on linear television.
