The most nominations for the Český Lev were received by Toman.
The Czech film and television academy (ČFTA) announced the nominees for the 26th year anniversary awards Český lev. The academics chose out of a total of 69 feature played, animated and documentary films, which were put into distribution in the year 2018. On Tuesday 22nd January, announcements of the nominees took place at a ceremony, which was hosted by the actor duo Klára Melíšková and Pavel Nový.
Melíšková will also take the main role in the ceremony theme, which is currently in preparation. To the question, to what extent will she be in the role, she answered:
‘So far, it’s still only in the preparation phase, and I myself will have to see, how far or much I will take part.’
She didn’t disclose any more information, so we’ll have to wait and see.
As the director general of Česká televize Petr Dvořák expressed, the films of last year were made with themes associated with 8th year anniversaries (such as 1918, 1968)
Toman has a good chance to become the film of the year 2018
The most nominations, a total of 13, were won by the drama from director and producer Ondřej Trojan, Toman – with Jiří Macháček in the main role. The plot of the film takes us back into the years 1945-1948, and acquaints us with the head of the Czechoslovakian foreign unit Zdeněk Toman, who made a significant impact on the post-war developments in Czechoslovakia. He was the person, who had the task to procure the money, which would have been given to the communists had they won the elections.
In close second place with 10 nominations is the director debut film by Ondřej Havelka Hastrman (The Hastrman) , the adaption of the novel of Miloš Urban about the love of a water goblin for a girl called Katynka. The road movie about teenage boys Všechno Bude (Winter Flies) by director Olma Omerz, also received 10 nominations.
You will be able to find out the results and who will take the beautiful statues from the workshop of Rony Plesl home this year on the 23rd of March. The ceremony will be streamed live from Rudolfinum, and will be hosted by the famous Czech actor Václav Kopta.
