2012 Les Magritte du Cinéma Awards - nominations


Belgium's L'Académie André Delvaux has announced the nominees for their 2nd Annual Magritte du Cinéma Awards for French-language Belgian cinema. Bouli Lanners' Les géants (The Giants) led the pack with 12 nominations. It picked up mentions for Best Film, Director and Screenplay.

Next was Tête de boeuf - Rundskop (Bullhead) with nine nominations. It wasn't acknowledged for Best Film or Director but picked up nods for Best Flemish Film in Co-Production, as well as Best Screenplay and Actor (Matthias Schoenaerts).

The Dardenne brothers film Le gamin au vélo (The Kid With A Bike) followed with eight nominations including Best Film, Director, Screenplay and Actress (Cécile de France).

Rounding out the Best Film category were Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon's La fée (The Fairy) (five nominations) and Vanja d'Alcantara's Beyond the steppes which was its only nomination oddly enough.

The fourth Best Director went to Sam Garbarski for Quartier lointain (A Distant Neighbourhood). For Best Screenplay, the fourth spot went to Philippe Blasband for Les émotifs anonymes (Romantics Anonymous).

Lubna Azabal picked up a Best Actress nomination for her starring role in the Canadian film Incendies by Denis Villeneuve.

The ceremony for the 2nd Annual Magritte du Cinéma Awards will take place on February 4 in the Grand Salle du Square of Brussels.
