The European Film Academy has announced the nominations for the European Film Awards’ categories European Comedy, European Animated Feature Film and European Short Film.

The nominations in the category European Comedy were determined by a committee comprised of European Film Academy Board Members and European film professionals. The committee which decided on the nominations for European Animated Feature Film was comprised of representatives of the European Film Academy and CARTOON, the European Association for Animation Film. The nomination committees will be presented on www.europeanfilmawards.eu after the completion of the nomination phase. The category European Short Film is organised by the European Film Academy in co-operation with a series of film festivals across Europe. At each of these festivals, an independent jury presented one of the European short films in competition with a candidacy. Out of the complete list of 29 candidates, the participating festivals nominated five films for the European Film Awards. The 4,400 members of the European Film Academy will vote for the overall winners.

The ceremony will take place on 10 December in Reykjavik.
