[KineJapan] Japan Academy Prize

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

The nominations for the 40th Japan Academy Prize have been announced. Lee Sang-il's Rage leads with 12 nominations in 11 categories. (The Prize actually treats nominations as prizes, with the award ceremony on March 3  announcing the top prize in each category.) The Academy Prize is notorious for being biased towards the films produced and/or distributed by the majors, but it was nice to see Zeze Takahisa, who visited Yale a few years ago, get a couple of nominations.

The other best picture nominees were Kazoku wa tsurai yo, Shin Gojira, Yu o wakasu hodo no atsui ai, and 64. Miyazaki Aoi and Hirose Suzu both earned nominations in both the best actress and best supporting actress categories.
