The film therefore starts as odd-on favourite to win the Golden Lola – the German equivalent of an Oscar for best movie.

The thriller about the bombing of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich is among the nominees for best film, the German Film Academy announced. The film recounts the events from the point of view of an American TV crew that was to cover the sports competition.

September 5 is also in the running for Best Director and Best Screenplay, while actress Leonie Benesch is in the running for Best Supporting Actress.

In the category for best film, six productions are in the running. Among them is the drama In Liebe, Eure Hilde by German director Andreas Dresen, which tells the story of the resistance to Nazism carried out by Hilde Coppi (1909-1943).

Also worth mentioning is the nomination of The Seed of the Sacred Fig by Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof, already an Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film for Germany. The film deals with the protests that broke out in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022.

The awards will be presented on 9 May in Berlin.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
