Apparently, if...

The EFAs are only 20 years old, a novice awards organization really, but their prizes offer up a rich variety of films, languages and genres. It's truly a grab bag and, if you're too Oscar focused, their prizes can be head scratching. Their 2009 Best Picture Nominees encompass three years worth of U.S. release dates: (2008) Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In and The Reader (2009) The White Ribbon...
