BERLIN -- The Oscar-nominated war drama Downfall was snubbed in the nominations for this year's German Film Awards, announced Monday, reaping just three acting noms, while the comedy Going for Zucker! led the pack with a whopping 10 mentions. The nominations for Germany's highest film industry awards, also known as the Lolas, were announced by the German Film Academy at the prestigious Adlon Hotel in Berlin. Downfall, about Hitler's last days at the closing of World War II, was Germany's most popular drama of last year, bringing in more at the boxoffice than Shrek 2, but it also was criticized by Germany's cultural elite for not taking a clear enough moral stand on Hitler. Bruno Ganz was nominated for best actor for his portrayal of Hitler. Director Dani Levy's popular comedy Zucker! was nominated for best picture, best director, best screenwriter (Levy and Holger Franke) and for three best actor awards.
