European Film Awards 2006The European Film Award has certainly changed...changed sex, changed location, and now ,at 19, Europe's attempt to emulate the "Oscar" has finally come of age with a well-presented,dignified ceremony and a splashy but stylish party in Warsaw, not perhaps the most beautiful of Old Europe's capitals,but the first venue in Eastern -sorry, Central- Europe to host the event so far.And, contrary to those who may think that most of the Polish population has recently taken up residence in England, the locals proved efficient and charming organisers .A wealth of local film-making talent was amply in evidence ,from much-loved veterans like Andrzej Wajda,and Roman Polanski (receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award before jetting off to preside on the Jury in Marrakech),top actors such as Daniel Olbrychski,the lively Jerzy Stuhr,stately Krzystof Zanussi,lovely Katerzina Figura,and LA-based Jerzy Skolimowski ,who came from acting in David Cronenberg's new film in London. 03.12.2006 | Phillip Bergson's blog Cat. : Alan Starski and cheerful- the EFA Awards Go East for the first time Andrzej Wajda Andrzej Wajda Best chic Cinema of Poland Cool Daniel Olbrychski David Cronenberg Entertainment Entertainment Europe EUROPEAN FILM AWARDS French Academy Jerzy Jerzy Skolimowski Jerzy Skolimowski Jerzy Stuhr Jerzy STUHR Ken Loach London Maciej Stuhr Maciej Stuhr Mads Mikkelsen MAKING FILMS Oscar Oscar Pedro Almodóvar Penelope Cruz Peter Cowie Phillip Bergson Roman Polanski Sophie Marceau Stuhr the Best Actor Prize the European Film Award The Lifetime Achievement Award Ulrich Mühe United Kingdom Victoria Warsaw Wyborowa AWARDS
