Winner
Jakob Oftebro
Norway. Jury's comment: "Jakob is an exceptionally charismatic young actor. He is delightful as the romantic male lead in Knut Hamsun adaptation 'Victoria,' while demonstrating admirable breadth in the other work we viewed. We are confident that Jakob has an exceptional career ahead of him."
Winner
George MacKay
United Kingdom. Jury's comment: "George wowed us with his commanding performance in 'For Those in Peril,' evoking a descent into an increasingly fractured mental state with brilliantly controlled subtlety. And the range of this young actor's work is remarkable: in the past year alone he impressed as a singing soldier returned home in musical 'Sunshine On Leith'; as the romantic male lead of dystopian teen drama 'How I Live Now'; and the emotionally raw protagonist of 'For Those in Peril.' "
Winner
Danica Curcic
Denmark. Jury's comment: "Danica's effortless charm lights up the screen in hit-and-run drama 'On the Edge.' In a film that initially seems to occupy a very male-dominated world, she quietly emerges as the story's beating heart and moral compass."
Winner
Cosmina Stratan
Romania. Jury's comment: "Cosmina rules with her emotions. In 'Beyond the Hills,' she demonstrates incredible precision in her acting, with an expertly modulated performance that keeps emotion reined in but radiates a powerful feeling."
Winner
Mateusz Kosciukiewicz
Poland. Jury's comment: "Mateusz has an intense screen presence. In contemporary Polish drama 'In the Name Of,' he ingeniously conveys a character that journeys from enigmatic misfit to wildly unpredictable ticking bomb, enlivening his performance with a goofy energy, and finally a beguiling tenderness. At all times, we were carried along with conviction."
