Premiile Gopo 2013, Romanian film awards – winners

Tonight, the Asociaţia Pentru Promovarea Filmului Românesc (Association for Romanian Film Promotion) held the gala ceremony for their 7th Annual Premiile Gopo (Gopo Awards) for Romanian cinema at the Opera Națională in Bucharest. Mihai Bobonete (Bobo) hosted the evening.

Two films dominated the evening. Radu Jude's Toată lumea din familia noastră (Everybody in Our Family) came away with six awards including the top awards of Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Şerban Pavlu), Best Supporting Actor (Gabriel Spahiu), Best Supporting Actress (Mihaela Sîrbu) and Best Screenplay.

However, Silviu Purcărete's Undeva la Palilula (Somewhere in Palilula) managed to scoop more awards overall with seven, all in the technical and craft categories. It had led the nominations with eleven. The film's cinematographer Adrian Silișteanu picked up an additional prize from the Romanian Society of Cinematographers.

The Best European Film award went to Holy Motors by Leos Carax. Lifetime Achievement Awards were given to veteran actors Constantin Codrescu and Mitică Popescu.
