The '''European Film Awards''' (or '''European Film Academy Awards''') have been presented annually since 1988 by the [[European Film Academy]] to recognize excellence in European [[Film|cinema]]tic achievements. The awards are given in 19 categories, of which the most important is the Best Film. They are restricted to [[Cinema of Europe|European cinema]] and European producers, directors and actors. The awards were officially also called the "'''Felix Awards'''" until 1997, in reference to the former award's trophy statuette, which was replaced by a feminine statuette.

Since 1997, the European Film Awards have been held in early- to mid-December. Hosting duties have alternated between [[Berlin]], [[Germany]] in odd-numbered years and other [[Lists of cities in Europe|European cities]] in even-numbered years. The [[33rd European Film Awards]] were held on 12 December 2020 as a [[Videotelephony|virtual ceremony]]. In reaction to the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], Russian films were excluded from the 2022 European Film Awards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.europeanfilmacademy.org/unequivocal-solidarity-with-ukraine/|title=Unequivocal Solidarity with Ukraine|date=1 March 2022|website=European Film Academy}}</ref>
