Sentimental Value Triumphs at European Film Awards
Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value won six European Film Awards including Best Film and Best Director, boosting its Oscar prospects, organizers said.
- On January 17, 2026, Sentimental Value swept the 38th European Film Awards, winning six top prizes at the ceremony in Seville, Spain.
- The EFA shifted its calendar to mid-January this year to boost buzz for European contenders, and because Academy voting closed January 16, the January 17 ceremony could influence Oscar voters.
- Joachim Trier's film claimed major creative prizes including best director, a shared screenplay win with Eskil Vogt, and Hania Rani's best original score.
- Sentimental Value's sweep should bolster its awards-season trajectory, as industry observers say it may help its Oscar chances despite The Academy voting closing January 16.
- Politics punctuated the night as Jafar Panahi opened with a plea about Iran's reported 3,000 deaths and 18,000 arrests, while Liv Ullmann accepted a lifetime award, referencing María Corina Machado and Donald Trump.
