Seventeen out of 55 films released in cinemas in 2014 have been nominated for the national film prizes and five of them were awarded with the Czech Lions by the members of the Czech Film and Television Academy.
Nowhere in Moravia and Three Brothers both received three Czech Lions, while Krásno and the documentary Olga received one award each.
Fair Play, which topped the nominations, is surprisingly not among the official Czech Lion winners, receiving a non-statutory Film Fans Award.
