The '''Guldbagge for Best Director''' is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] film award presented annually by the [[Swedish Film Institute]] (SFI) as part of the [[Guldbagge Awards]] (Swedish: "Guldbaggen") to [[Film director|director]]s working in the Swedish [[film|motion picture]] industry.

== History ==
Throughout the past 50 years, SFI has presented a total of 50 Best Director awards to 40 different directors. Along with the categories [[Guldbagge Award for Best Film|Best Film]], Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Leading Role, the award for Best director were one of the four original price categories which was presented at the first award ceremony in 1964.<ref name="history">{{cite web|title=Guldbagge Award categories|url=http://www.sfi.se/en-GB/Swedish-film-database/The-Guldbagge-Award/Guldbagge-award-categories-/|publisher=The Swedish Film Database|access-date=February 18, 2014}}</ref> At the [[1st Guldbagge Awards]] ([[1963 in film|1963]]/[[1964 in film|1964]]), [[Ingmar Bergman]] was awarded the first Guldbagge for his film ''[[The Silence (1963 film)|The Silence]]''.<ref name="ceremonies">{{cite web|title=The Guldbagge Awards|url=http://www.sfi.se/en-GB/Swedish-film-database/The-Guldbagge-Award/|publisher=The Swedish Film Database|access-date=February 18, 2014}}</ref> Since then, the prize has been awarded every year, except in 1971 where the only prize for best film was awarded, and in 1980 where only the categories Best Film, Best Actor along with the [[Ingmar Bergman Award]].<ref name="ceremonies"/> At both the [[30th Guldbagge Awards]] ([[1994 in film|1994]]) and the [[42nd Guldbagge Awards]] ([[2006 in film|2006]]), Best Director was presented to a co-directing team, rather than to an individual director.

The Guldbagge Awards for Best Director and [[Guldbagge Award for Best Film|Best Film]] have been very closely linked throughout their history. Of the 55 films that have been awarded Best Film, 24 have also been awarded Best Director. The first one to achieve this was [[Ingmar Bergman]], whose film ''[[The Silence (1963 film)|The Silence]]'' won the Best Film award at the first [[1st Guldbagge Awards]].<ref name="ceremonies"/> The last one who achieved this was [[Magnus von Horn]] through his film, ''[[The Here After]]'' at the [[51st Guldbagge Awards]] ([[2015 in film|2015]]).<ref>{{cite web|title=Utmärkelser|url=http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/Item/?itemid=78381&type=MOVIE&iv=Awards|publisher=The Swedish Film Database|language=sv|access-date=January 3, 2013}}</ref>

The first woman who won the award for Best Director was [[Marianne Ahrne]], for the film ''[[Near and Far Away]]'' (1976). Besides her, only nine women have ever been awarded for Best Director: [[Suzanne Osten]] for ''[[The Mozart Brothers]]'' (1986), Åsa Faringer for ''The Daughter of the Puma'' (1994), [[Ella Lemhagen]] for ''[[Tsatsiki, morsan och polisen]]'' (1999), Catti Edfeldt and Ylva Gustavsson for ''[[Kidz in da Hood]]'' (2006), [[Lisa Siwe]] for ''[[Glowing Stars]]'' (2009), [[Pernilla August]] for ''[[Beyond (2010 film)|Beyond]]'' (2010), and [[Gabriela Pichler]] for ''[[Eat Sleep Die]]'' (2012). Since 1991, when the nomination system was introduced with three nominees, the number of female directors has increased significantly, with a total of 22 women. The first woman that got nominated was [[Susanne Bier]] for the film ''[[Freud's Leaving Home]]'' (1991).<ref name="ceremonies"/>

== Winners and nominees ==
Each [[Guldbagge Awards]] ceremony is listed chronologically below along with the winner of the '''Guldbagge Award for Directing''' and the film associated with the award. Before 1991 the awards did not announce nominees, only winners. In the columns under the winner of each award are the other nominees for best director, which are listed from 1991 and forward.

For the first nineteen ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned two calendar years. For example, the 2nd Guldbagge Awards presented on October 15, 1965, recognized films that were released between July, 1964 and June, 1965.<ref name="history"/><ref>{{cite web|title=Värdar, tid och plats för alla Guldbaggegalor |url=http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/guldbaggelistan/Historik1/Vardar-samt-tid-och-plats-for-alla-galor/ |publisher=The Swedish Film Database |access-date=February 19, 2014 |language=sv |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140310081040/http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/guldbaggelistan/Historik1/Vardar-samt-tid-och-plats-for-alla-galor/ |archive-date=March 10, 2014 }}</ref> Starting with the 20th Guldbagge Awards, held in 1985, the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31. The Awards presented at that ceremony were in respect of 18 months of film production owing to the changeover from the broken calendar year to the standard calendar year during 1984.<ref name="history"/> Due to a mediocre film year, no awards ceremony was held in 1971.<ref>{{cite web|title=När filmgalan var ny|url=http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/guldbaggelistan/Historik1/|publisher=The Swedish Film Database|access-date=February 19, 2014|language=sv}}</ref>

==International presence==
As the [[Guldbagge Awards]] are based in Sweden and are centered on the [[Cinema of Sweden|Swedish film industry]], the majority of Guldbagge Award winners have been Swedish. Nonetheless, there is significant international presence at the awards, as evidenced by the following list of '''winners''' of the Guldbagge Award for Best Director.
* Denmark: [[Per Fly]]
* Iceland: [[Hrafn Gunnlaugsson]]
* United Kingdom: [[Colin Nutley]]

However, no director has won for a film that is entirely in a foreign language.

Several international '''nominees''' include:
* Denmark: [[Susanne Bier]] and [[Bille August]] (nominated for 2 films)
* Germany: [[Rainer Hartleb]]
