Paola Cortellesi’s There’s Still Tomorrow, a black-and-white feminist comedy that became the top-grossing film in Italy last year, is the frontrunner for the 2024 David Di Donatello Awards, Italy’s equivalent to the Oscars, with 19 nominations, including for best film.

Cortellesi picked up a Donatello nomination for best directorial debut for There’s Still Tomorrow, which outpaced Barbie at the local box office and became an Italian cultural phenomenon. She also scored noms for best actress and best original script for the film, which she co-wrote with Furio Andreotti and Giulia Calenda.
