The film Bird Atlas can boast of 9 nominations. It is a dramatic probe of the complicated family relationships and communication technologies directed by Olmo Omerzu. 8 nominations were presented to the film Emma in Love, which is a romantic drama about getting even with your own past directed by Jan Prušinovský. The television series Božena about the first significant Czech female writer directed by Lenka Wimmerová will fight in the last jousting with its 5 nominations and 4 nominations went to the internationally acclaimed animated film My Sunny Maad by Michaela Pavlátová, whose poetic film tells the story of a Czech woman married in Kabul.

    In the final jousting altogether 25 films and television works of art will fight for the Czech Lion statuettes in 19 categories. In the first round the academics were choosing from 32 feature actors’ films, then they voted about 16 documentary features that had been chosen by a preselection committee consisting of the members of the academy, 7 animated and 13 short films. As for the collection of the television works of art, which for the second time included also the works distributed via the Internet, the academics were choosing from 16 works of art.

    The awarding ceremony of the Czech Lions will take place in the music hall Rudolfinum in Prague and it will be broadcast live by Czech Television on the CT1 channel. It will also be possible to watch it online on www.ceskatelevize.cz/ceskylev. The gala evening will be hosted by Jiří Havelka.
