Melancholia, Lars von Trier's rapturously beautiful end of the world take won top honors at the European Film Awards, scooping up three prizes, despite being snubbed for director and leading lady Kirsten Dunst.  Tilda Swinton appears, possibly a formidable contender, following her leading actress victory from the National Board of Review two days ago, while leftovers from last year made an impression with In a Better World (last years Foreign Film Oscar winner) winning the director's prize, and that old menace The King's Speech winning leading actor and film editing, in a hopeful nod that this will be the very last time this is mentioned by an awards governing body ever again!
