Director Radu Jude is nominated in two categories at this year's European Film Awards.

He is nominated for the European Director award for Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, the film that earned him the Golden Bear at this year's Berlinale. Jude is nominated in this category alongside Jasmila Žbanić for Quo Vadis, Aida?, Florian Zeller for The Father, Paolo Sorrentino for The Hand of God, and Julia Ducournau for Titane, the winner of this year's Palme d'Or. 

Jude is also nominated in the European Screenwriter category, alongside Jasmila Žbanić, Florian Zeller, Paolo Sorrentino, and Joachim Trier and Eskil Vogt for The Worst Person in the World.

Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is Romania's proposal for a nomination in the Best International Feature category of the 2022 Oscars.

Last year, Alexander Nanau's Collective won the Documentary award at the European Film Awards.
