Rocketman

Paramount’s Elton John biopic tied

Bombshell with three noms from the

Georgiou, Tapio Salmi, Barrie Gower,

Victoria Money and Laura Solari —

was honored across three categories.

Charlize Theron
Bombshell
Sizzle reels at Nov. 8’s American
Cinematheque Awards and Hollywood
Film Awards on Nov. 1 both reminded
audiences that from drama to action,
Theron is a rare example of an actress
tackling a true variety of roles.

BEST ACTRESS MAKEUP/HAIRSTYLING

The Traitor (Italy)

Marco Bellocchio’s Mafia drama, based

on the real-life story of mob boss turned

informant Tommaso Buscetta, landed

European Film Award noms for best film,

director, actor and writing Nov. 9. The

pic is Italy’s entry for the international

feature film Oscar category.

Lionheart (Nigeria)/

Joy (Austria)

Both films were disqualified from the

international feature film race by the

Academy for being predominantly in

English. The decision sparked debates on

what constitutes an international film and

whether language is a fair measure.

INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM

Two international

films disqualified, the doc

race winnowed and

Charlize Theron honored
