This year’s most nominated film in the Rober Awards poll is a triple tie-up between Michael Haneke’s astonishing vision of the elements in German society which led to the origin of Nazism, “The White Ribbon”; Kathryn Bigelow’s impressive Iraq war movie “The Hurt Locker” and Thomas Alfredson poetic take on the vampire myth in “Let The Right One In”. Each of them has been nominated in eight categories.

A Prophet; District 9; Milk and Synecdoche, New York all follow closely with six nominations apiece.

Popular favourites such as Avatar; Slumdog Millionaire and An Education are also featured in different categories. The new mid-February deadline, put in place to avoid the gap between the US and Europe different release dates, means that for a year only titles belonging to two different award seasons are in the race. 2009’s Oscar contenders such as Slumdog Millionaire; Doubt and The Wrestler are in contention next to this year’s candidates such as Precious or Up In The Air.
