To check the nominees in all the categories go here available only in German. The award ceremony will take place in Berlin on April 24. Seems that I have to program a German cinema cycle as there are some films that definitively I have to watch here.

For my German readers I suggest to check the Lola Festival 09 site that will run from April 16 to 22 in many cities.
