The 2026 Czech Lion Awards will move to Prague Congress Centre with Bianca Cristovao set to host as voting begins on 94 eligible titles.
“We were prepared for any outcome tonight, and this one is a great result,” writer-director Jiří Mádl told reporters after his victory at the Czech Republic’s version of the Oscars.
Among the 29 titles competing across 24 categories, Czech Oscar submission Waves (Vlny), directed by Jiří Mádl, leads the pack with 14 nominations.
From this weekend through the first week in March, the central Prague cinema is screening films nominated for Czech Lion awards.
