    WARSAW: Paweł Pawlikowski's Academy Award nominated drama Cold War received the most nominations (12) for the Polish Film Awards - The Eagles. The nominations were announced on 6 February 2019.

    Cold War received 12 Polish Eagles nominations including best film and best director. Pawlikowski's drama is competing for this year's Academy Awards in three categories: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director and Best Cinematography. The film won five awards at the European Film Awards 2018, including best European film, and also four BAFTA nominations. The several accolades received by the film include best director in 2018 Cannes Official Competition.

    The nominations for the Polish Eagles were chosen from among over 56 feature films released in Polish cinemas in 2018, as well as 42 documentaries. 

    The Polish Film Awards - The Eagles have been organised by the Independent Film Foundation since 1999. They are considered to be the Polish equivalent of American Oscars, French Césars and British BAFTA awards. The films are chosen by over 600 members of the Polish Film Academy in a two-step vote.
