To check nominees in all categories go here available only in Italian. Besides the obvious 2011 Cannes films there aren’t much new Italian movies that wish to see from above films as there are too many comedies which I don’t like. Nevertheless looking forward to watch Sorelle mai by Bellocchio and of course Il Gioiellino (The Jewel) directed by none other than Andrea Molaioli (remember great La Ragazza del Lago?) with Toni Servillo in the lead.

Award ceremony will be on June 25 at Taormina, Sicily.
