Haneke's 'White Ribbon' Wins European Film Awards

Michael Haneke picked up his second Best Film honor in five years at the European Film Awards, with his White Ribbon winning in three major categories to perhaps emerge as the international film to beat during the rest of awards season. Having already takend the Palme D'Or at Cannes, Haneke won Best Director and Best Screenwriter, leaving another front-runner, France's A Prophet, a chance only to win Best Actor for Tahar Rahim and a technical award. Because of the release schedule of films on the continent, Kate Winslet was eligible for Best Actress for The Reader, so there's another major award for her. Slumdog Millionaire was also still eligible, helping Anthony Dod Mantle pick up the award for Best Cinematographer (also winning for Lars von Trier's Antichrist).
