The best film was awarded to Paweł Pawlikowski's Ida , who was able to convert three of his five regular nominations into victories.
The 14 nominated film productions in the categories of film, director, actor, actress and screenplay were selected from a shortlist ("longlist") from the more than 3000 members of the European Film Academy. A seven-member selection committee decided on the so-called jury award winners in the categories of camera, editing, production design, costumes, film music and sound, which were announced in the run-up to the gala. The jury prizes were introduced at the award ceremony last year.
The British director Steve McQueen and the French director and screenwriter Agnès Varda have also already been selected as winners . The British filmmaker, who was named Discovery of the Year in 2008 for his debut film Hunger , directed the Oscar- winning film 12 Years a Slave (2013) and was awarded the European Film Academy (EFA) award in the category Best European Achievement at the end of September 2014 World Cinema Awarded.
