Winners and nominees -- 1950s
The Grand Prix is an annual award presented by the Belgian Film Critics Association (, UCC). It was introduced in 1954 by the organizing committee to honor the film of the year that contributed the most to the enrichment and influence of cinema. In December of each year, the organization meets to vote for films released in the previous calendar year. To determine the nominations, ballots are sent in by the members - select knowledgeable film enthusiasts, academics, filmmakers, and journalists - and subsequently tabulated in order to decide the winner.
