"The European Film Awards (EFAs) have long styled themselves as Europe's answer to the Oscars, even if, in terms of boosting commercial successes at the box office, their impact has been negligible. But as American studios increasingly prioritise franchise sequels over serious drama, and European films vie for major trophies outside the best international feature silo, the EFAs are feeling emboldened about becoming a major tastemaker for grownup cinema."
"This year, the European Film Academy has for the first time moved its annual jamboree from December to the middle of the US awards season, right between the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. Hollywood has stopped making movies for adults, with a few exceptions, said Scott Roxborough, European bureau chief for the Hollywood Reporter. That leaves room for the Europeans, who only make films for adults."
European Film Awards have repositioned their ceremony from December to mid‑US awards season, placing the event between the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. The move aims to increase visibility for European adult‑focused cinema as American studios prioritize franchise sequels over serious drama. Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value leads nominations, including best European film, after winning the Cannes Grand Prix and earning a Golden Globe for Stellan Skarsgard. The EFAs position themselves as a tastemaker for mature, non‑franchise storytelling and benefit from growing recognition of non‑English language films at major awards since the Oscars expanded their best picture nominees.
