Most interestingly, the highest profile Austrian film this year, Michael Haneke's Amour, was not among the nominees. Haneke himself declined to submit it for consideration, saying it was "kind of stupid" to compete against those who were just beginning and "that would be unfair." Amour was winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and has won numerous other awards since, including the European Film Awards.
The resulting nominations were led by Florian Flicker's Grenzgänger (Crossing Boundaries) with seven nominations, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Andreas Lust) and Best Screenplay. The film is an adaptation of Karl Schönherr’s “Der Weibsteufel” about two men and one woman involved in a dramatic triangle.
Paradies: Liebe (Paradise: Love) by Ulrich Seidl followed with six nominations, while Julian Pölsler's Die Wand (The Wall) chimed in with five. Both film's nominations included Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Screenplay.
56 films were submitted to the Akademie des Österreichischen Films, including 15 feature films, 25 documentaries and 16 short films. About 240 voting members of the Academy participated in voting for the nominees.
The ceremony for the 3rd annual Österreichischen Filmpreis takes place on January 23, 2013 in the Festival Hall of the Wiener Rathaus (Vienna City Hall).
