ROBERT - DANISH FILM AWARD NOMINATIONS 2021
The graphically distinct ROBERT is not just the most weighty prize in Denmark, it is also the most coveted for all film- and tv-professionals as it is their colleagues in the Danish Film Academy who both nominate and single out the best achievements of the year.
It is the 37th time the Danish Film Academy presents the Robert award recognizing excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences, not just in front of and behind the camera, but also in distribution and exhibition. Shots and documentaries have been awarded from the start, whereas the best achievements in series productions were included in 2012.
Only members of the Danish Film Academy can nominate and vote, and the more than 2000 members are divided into categories depending on their craft and they nominate within their own fields.
The Robert award show will be an online event, streaming Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021. The show will be live-streamed at robertprisen.dk
