Bodil Awards
The Bodil Awards are the major Danish film awards given by the Danish Film Critics Association.
The awards are presented annually at a ceremony in Copenhagen. Established in 1948, it is one of the oldest film awards in Europe. The awards are given without regard to commercial interests or box-office sales, but rather to highlight the films or actors that the critics regard as most worthy.
