Laia Costa has earned her first-ever European Film Awards nod…
The 30-year-old Spanish actress has earned the nomination for her starring role in Sebastian Schipper’s Victoria.
Costa is nominated in the Best Actress category for her portrayal of the title character in the film, which was shot in a single take.
Victoria centers on a runaway party girl, who is asked by four friendly men to join them as they hit the town. Their wild night of partying turns into a bank robbery.
Costa is up against Margherita Buy, Charlotte Rampling, Alicia Vikander and Rachel Weisz.
Costa’s other film credits include Tengo ganas de ti. Her television credits include Carlos, Rey Emperador, Bandolera and The Red Band Society.
