Ruben Östlund's Triangle Of Sadness was the big winner at the European Film Awards earlier this evening in Reykjavik.

The satire about a group of super-rich people stranded on an island, won the prizes for best European film, director, screenwriter, along with the actor's gong for Zlatko Burić.

It was a good night for satire, as Fernando León de Aranoa's Javier Bardem starrer The Good Boss was named best comedy.

The FIPRESCI prize for European Discovery went to Small Body, directed by Laura Samani, while Vicky Krieps won the actress award for Corsage.

Mariupolis 2, the posthumous documentary by Mantas Kvedaravicius, which was completed by co-director Hanna Bilobrava after he was killed in Ukraine, was named best documentary. The best animation award went to Alain Ughetto's No Dogs Or Italians Allowed.

Documentary Granny's Sexual Life, directed by Urška Djukic and Émilie Pigeard was named best short.

German filmmaker Margarethe von Trotta received the award for European lifetime achievement.
