Update: The 32 European Film Awards crowned The Favourite with a number of its prizes, even though the film was playing catch-up with last year. Still a lovely evening also bestowed wins on newcomers like Ladj Ly and increasingly promising talent like Céline Sciamma. Best Actor winner Antonio Banderas sent a message to say Pedro Almodovar is “a miracle in my life.” Following some early controversy, and four nominations, Roman Polanski’s An Officer And A Spy did not pick up any trophies, while the European Film Academy made a point of saying it is looking to “revise its disciplinary measures.” See below for the full list of winners announced tonight.

Eleven months after receiving 10 Academy Award nominations, Yorgos Lanthimos’ black comedy “The Favourite” dominated the European Film Awards on Saturday night in Berlin, winning four awards including the top honor, European Film.
Although the film was released in the U.S. in 2018, it was eligible for the Efa because it was released in January 2019 in the U.K.
Lanthimos also won the best director award, and his film about intrigue in the court of Queen Anne was named the year’s best European comedy. Olivia Colman was named best actress for the role that won her an Oscar in February.
Best-actor honors went to Antonio Banderas for Pedro Almodovar’s “Pain and Glory.”

The 2019 European Film Awards unfolded today in Berlin across an unhinged and hilarious ceremony. “The Favourite,” a 2018 awards-season triumph in the U.S., took home top prizes including for European film, director Yorgos Lanthimos and Academy Award-winning star Olivia Colman. While released stateside in fall 2018, the revisionist period romp’s international release window made it eligible for the European Film Awards this year.
Antonio Banderas’ Oscar-bidding turn in Pedro Almodóvar’s “Pain and Glory” earned the Spanish star the European Actor prize. Neither Banderas nor Colman were available to attend the ceremony, but both chimed in with video messages thanking European voters for their wins. “Pain and Glory” is Spain’s pick for the 2020 foreign Oscar.
Céline Sciamma’s “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” which lost out as France’s pick for the 2020 foreign Oscar to European Film Award winner “Les Miserables,” won the screenplay prize. Sciamma also won...

Antonio Banderas won the Best European Actor award for Pain And Glory
We've been bringing you live updates from this year's European Film Awards ceremony in Berlin, where The Favourite was the big winner, with seven awards in total.
The first award - Best European Director - went to Yorgos Lanthimos for The Favourite. It's one of those films that came out in the middle of awards season last year so didn't qualify for last year's EFAs even though it won Academy Awards this year. See what Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone, Olivia Colman, Nicholas Hoult, Joe Alwyn and Tony McNamara had to tell us about it.
The Christmas Gift was named as Best European Short Film. Director Bogdan Mureșanu was so happy to receive the award that he forgot what he had planned to say.
The winner of Best European Animated Feature Film is Buñuel In The Labyrinth Of The Turtles,...

Now in their 32nd year, the European Film Awards unfold Saturday in Berlin, and here’s where you can live-stream the ceremony. With some titles controversial (Roman Polanski’s “An Officer and a Spy”) and others at least a year old for those of us stateside (“The Favourite”), this year’s ceremony is sure to be a fun romp.
Leading the pack is director “An Officer and a Spy,” the Dreyfus affair drama that picked up a top prize at Venice back in September, tied for four nominations alongside Pedro Almodóvar’s self-reflective “Pain and Glory,” Marco Bellocchio’s “The Traitor,” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Favourite.” While released in the fall of 2018 in the United States, the latter film’s international release window made it eligible for the European Film Awards this year. “The Favourite” won star Olivia Colman, who plays a gout-stricken Queen Anne, a Best Actress Academy Award earlier...
