Kirsten Dunst's movie Melancholia dominated the European Film Awards on Saturday night (03Dec11), picking up the event's top prize.
The movie, directed by controversial Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier, won the coveted title of Best European Film of 2011 at the ceremony in Berlin, Germany.
Von Trier vowed to shun public speaking after he was banned from the Cannes Film Festival in France over the summer (11) for making comments about Nazi dictator Adolf Hilter, so he sent his wife, Bente Froge, to pick up the award on his behalf.
