European Film Awards Nominees include Pedro Almodovar, Yorgos Lanthimos and, er, Roman Polanski

Given the very recent news on further allegations, it is certainly not timely to see Roman Polanski score several nominations with the 2019 European Film Awards nominations for his new film, An Officer and a Spy. Let the art versus artist debate roll forth. Also doing rather well are Pedro Almodovar (Pain and Glory) and Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite).
