Like every year, the European Film Academy, headed by German filmmaker Wim Wenders, awards its European Film Awards, also known as European Film Awards, for best European film productions. With eight nominations including those for Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress for Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia by Lars von Trier declared "persona non grata" in Cannes for his controversial statements, is leading the nominations for the 2011 vintage.

Films presented in Cannes and the Oscars
Among the major competitors in the race for the prize for best European film are no surprises other Cannes feature films such as The Kid bikes in the Dardenne brothers (Grand Prize winner), Le Havre from Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki, or The Artist Michel Hazanavicius (nominated for three other awards including best actor Jean Dujardin, Award of Best Actress at Cannes), which represent France. The Oscar-winning film The King's Speech by Tom Hooper (four Oscars) and Revenge of Susanne Bier (Oscar for best foreign film) are also present.
