62nd Deutscher Filmpreis (German Film Awards), Lolas - nominations


Today, the Deutsche Filmakademie (German Film Academy) announced the nominations for the 62nd Deutscher Filmpreis (German Film Awards). The award is also known as the Lola in honour of Marlene Dietrich's character in Der blaue Engel (The Blue Angel).

Leading the way with eight nominations was Christian Petzold's Barbara. Its nominations included Best Picture, Screenplay, Director and Actor (Ronald Zehrfeld). Just last month, it captured a Silver Bear at the Berlinale.

Close behind with seven nominations each were Roland Emmerich’s revisionist Shakespeare thriller Anonymous and the drama Halt auf freier Strecke (Stopped on Track). Both were nominated for Best Picture. Rounding out the top category were Christian Zübert's Dreiviertelmond (Three Quarter Moon), Tim Fehlbaum's Hell and David Wnendt's Kriegerin (Combat Girls).

In addition to statuettes, the Lolas award nominees and winners cash prizes from a pool worth € 2.955 million. Each Documentary nominee will receive € 100,000 but the winner receives a total of 200,000. The Children's Film nominees get € 125,000 with the winner getting € 250,000. Each Best Picture nominee receives € 250,000, but the winning amount increases to € 375,000 for the Bronze winner, € 425,000 for the Silver winner, and € 500,000 for the Gold winner. Individual Lola winners will receive € 10,000.
