2012 Premio Sur Award Winners

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

From news winners are in *BLUE. Link to official site will come as they update.

Infancia Clandestina sweep this edition as won all top awards plus more for a total of 10 awards out of the 16 nominations it had. Even when not won Best First Film, El último Elvis collected 6 awards to be the second most honored film.

Pablo Giorgelli's Las Acacias is so-good that I'm glad was honored at "home" after winning many honors in the international festival circuit.

A while back the Argentinean Academy announced the nominees for this year's Premio Sur and Infancia Clandestina, which is Argentina's submission to Oscar, tops the ranking with 16 nominations followed by El último Elvis (13), Elefante blanco (11), Las Acacias (9) and Dos más Dos (8).

Truth is that thanks to the very non-friendly Academy official site I forgot about this award but better now than never; besides the award ceremony will be soon, in December, and of course I wasn't able to find the exact date for the ceremony in the official site, but from news seems that will be on December 4th, 2012.
