‘Sentimental Value’ Sweeps Amanda Awards
Joachim Trier's 'Sentimental Value' won eight Amanda Awards, including Best Norwegian Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another' took Best Foreign Film, while Pia Tjelta and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas won acting honors. The ceremony also recognized Daniel Fahre's 'The Battle of Oslo' with the People's Amanda.
Joachim Trier's Oscar-winning film 'Sentimental Value' became the biggest winner at this year's Amanda Awards, taking home eight trophies, including the award for Best Norwegian Film. Trier was also honoured with the Best Director award, while he and long-time collaborator Eskil Vogt won Best Screenplay for the film.
Reflecting on their creative partnership, Trier and Vogt told Variety earlier this year, "There's a lot of stuff going on when you make and release films, and we both like to go back to that safe space and rediscover that calm where it's just our two voices."
Vogt added, "When I write alone, I procrastinate. When I'm procrastinating with Joachim, even if I haven't done anything, at least I got to spend a day with my friend." Trier responded, "Eskil is my longest relationship outside of my parents. We don't need to be silly romantic about it, but we have to be honest: it's a real gift."
Other Major Winners
Paul Thomas Anderson's hit 'One Battle After Another' won the Amanda Award for Best Foreign Film. In acting categories, Pia Tjelta won Best Performance in a Leading Role for 'Don't Call Me Mama' — her second Amanda — while Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas received the Best Supporting Role award for 'Sentimental Value'. Anna Drakopoulou Sverrisdóttir was named Newcomer of the Year for 'Brightly Shining'.
The People's Amanda went to 'The Battle of Oslo', directed by Daniel Fahre. The film depicts the sinking of the German cruiser Blücher under the leadership of Colonel Birger Eriksen during World War II. Fahre described the event as "one of the most famous events in our history. Some people are calling it the single most important event during the WWII in Norway." He added, "We kept it quite accurate, also because it's such a thrilling story. But we had to look for its emotional side, because there's no mention of that in military reports. I am sure Colonel Eriksen had doubts, that he was afraid. But nobody wrote about it."
The film was the previous year's opening film at the Norwegian International Film Festival Haugesund.
Additional Honors
Per Christian Ellefsen received the Amanda Committee's Honorary Award, while Mette Holme Nielsen and Jannecke Bervell received the Golden Clapper. The awards were hosted by Vegard Larsen and Linnea Myhre, and the broadcast was produced by Monster for NRK.
In the technical and genre categories, 'Sentimental Value' also won Best Production Design (Jørgen Stangebye Larsen), Best Makeup Design (Trine Morland), Best Editing (Olivier Bugge Coutté), and Best Cinematography (Kasper Tuxen Andersen). 'Rally from Paris to the Pyramids' won Best Sound Design (Johannes Dekko) and Best Original Score (Ola Kvernberg). 'A Mouse Hunt for Christmas' won Best Children's Film and Best Visual Effects (Fredrik Fottland, Andreas Hylander, Jonas Larsen, Simon Jansson). 'Flophouse America', directed by Monica Strømdahl, won Best Documentary. 'Brightly Shining' won Best Costume Design (Alva Brosten), and 'Fata Morgana', directed by Aasne Vaa Greibrokk, won Best Short Film.
The producers of Best Norwegian Film winner 'Sentimental Value' were Maria Ekerhovd and Andrea Berentsen Ottmar.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
