Vermiglio candidato, l’Italia ha qualche possibilità di vincere?

Come si può notare dalle candidature ai 37esimi European Film Awards, l’Italia è presente con Vermiglio, film di Maura Delpero che si è aggiudicato il Gran premio della giuria all’81esima Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica di Venezia. Bisogna essere molto chiari: per quanto le due candidature per miglior film europeo e miglior regista siano un vanto e motivo d’orgoglio, Vermiglio ha davvero pochissime possibilità di vittoria. Il favorito assoluto resta infatti Emilia Pérez, ma anche titoli come The Substance, The Room Next Door e The Seed of the Sacred Fig sembrano due passi avanti. In questo senso, è difficile immaginare anche solo una nomination per l’Oscar al miglior film internazionale 2025, ma la speranza resta l’ultima a morire.
