BRUSSELS, Belgium (ESN Press) – There are no clear favourites, as the race for the coveted Stars of ESN Awards hots up.

James McAvoy and Keira Knightley missed out last year and are said to be desperate to get their hands on ESN gongs this time around.

They are likely to be strong candidates in all five areas; Most Pallomeri section, Best Newcomer section, spreading the ESN love, Best Satellite and especially, Trashiest picture, organizers announced Wednesday.

The Stars of ESN awards, to be handed out at Besancon’s Gala Dinner during the March AGM, are considered an important indicator of Academy Award prospects.

The Stars of ESN prizes have a higher-than-usual profile this year with the Hollywood screenwriters' strike muting the traditional glamour of the U.S. show-business awards season.

In an eclectic field of nominees, it is unclear which sections will get the nod at the present time.

The nominations are said to be flying in for this world renowned event and the competition is apparently more fierce than ever….

Don't Miss it!
