Leading the pack with six awards was Zuzana Liova's Dom (The House), which took Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and four acting awards for leading actor Miroslav Krobot, actress Judit Bardos, supporting actress Tatjana Medvecka, and supporting actor Market Geisberg.

Also picking up six awards was Martin Sulik's Cigan (Gypsy) which won awards for such achievements as Best Director and Best Cinematography.
