‘Waves’ Leads Czech Lion Award Nominations After Homeland Commercial Success and Oscar Shortlist Mention
The Czech film "Waves," Oscar shortlisted for Best International Film, led the Czech Lion Award nominations with 14.
Actors Vojtěch Vodochodský, Tatiana Pauhofová, Martin Hofmann and Stanislav Majer were nominated in their respective categories. It currently stands as the third-highest-grossing Czech film ever, behind “Women on the Run” and “Anděl Páně 2.” Notably, the last time a Czech film was nominated in the international category at the Oscars was “Želary” in 2003, and the country got two shortlist mentions for “The Painted Bird” and “Charlatan” in 2020 and 2021, respectively. During that period, both “The Shop on Main Street” and “Closely Watched Trains” won Academy Awards for Czechoslovakia, while Miloš Forman’s “Loves of a Blonde” and “The Firemen’s Ball” also scored nominations.
