After this was originally supposed to be held in Reykjavík , the gala was canceled in October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic . Instead, the winners were announced in several virtual ceremonies from Berlin . The prize is awarded by the European Film Academy (EFA). Thomas Vinterberg's social satire Der Rausch prevailed as the best film and turned four of its nominations into victories.

Full nominations were announced on November 10, 2020 during a live stream at the Seville European Film Festival .
