Karla Sofía Gascón becomes the first trans woman to win best actress as Belfast’s Kneecap film loses out on two nominations
Armand, a nervy Norwegian drama set entirely within a parent-teacher meeting and directed by Ullmann Tøndel , won Discovery. The University award, decided by students from 21 universities across Europe, went to the Romanian teen drama, Three Kilometres to the End of the World. An out-of-breath Maria Baklava, the Bulgarian star of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and Bodies Bodies Bodies, came straight from storm-delayed flights to the stage of the Entlebuch Culture and Congress Center to present Audiard with the award for best European director. It was the beginning of a sweep for Emilia Pérez which took home statuettes for best screenplay and best film.
It was a politically charged evening. When West Bank contender No Other Land was announced as the winner of the best documentary, there were cries of “Free Palestine” in the auditorium. Palestinian Hiam Abbass paused to remember the children of Gaza before presenting Jacques Audiard with the best film award.
History was made in the acting categories. aest Actor Abou Sangaré became the first Guinean to win a European Film Award for his heart-rending performance in Souleymane’s Story, a nail-biting account of the life of an undocumented asylum seeker in France. while Karla Sofía Gascón became the first trans woman to win Best European Actress for her work on Emilia Pérez.
