2013 Bodil-prisen (Danish film awards) – winners

The Filmmedarbejderforeningen (National Association of Film Critics) of Denmark held the gala ceremony for their 66th Bodil-prisen or Bodil Awards for Danish movies last night at Bremen Teater in Copenhagen. Mikael Bertelsen hosted the event.

The awards were spread around very evenly . The high-seas drama Kapringen (A Hijacking) by Tobias Lindholm claimed the top prize of Best Danish Film. The foreign film winners were Michael Haneke's Amour and Sean Durkin's Martha Marcy May Marlene.

The Best Documentary went to Putins kys (Putin’s Kiss) by Lise Birk Pedersen. Joshua Oppenheimer's remarkable documentary The Act of Killing was presented with a Special Bodil Award.

En kongelig affære (A Royal Affair) by Nicolaj Arcel had led with six nominations. It won for Best Actor, with Mikkel Boe Følsgaard winning out over his castmate Mads Mikkelsen. It also picked up awards for Cinematography and Art Direction.
