Awarded annually since 1964, the Guldbagge (“Golden Beetle”) is the name of the Swedish Film Institute’s award for achievements during the previous year. The award itself, in the form of a fantastical beetle, was designed by the artist Karl Axel Pehrson. 

The 2024 Guldbagge Awards show was produced by The Swedish Film Institute with Leroy Media and Sveriges Television.
