AMSTERDAM — Clemence Audiard has received 12 nominations from the 2026 XMAs Europa Awards, including one for Female Performer of the Year.
Audiard’s first self-directed feature, “No Way Back,” received nominations for Best Vignette Movie and Director of the Year – Individual Work, while several scenes from the production were also recognized across multiple categories. She was also nominated for Best Acting, Best Lesbian Scene, Best Vignette, Best Sex Scene – All-Sex, and Best Sex Scene – Orgy/Group Female-Led.
“Receiving 12 XBIZ nominations is something I never imagined when I started this journey,” said Audiard. “Being recognized not only as a performer but also as a director for my very first film is incredibly meaningful. Creating ‘No Way Back’ was one of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever taken on, and seeing both the film and its scenes celebrated alongside my performance work is truly rewarding. I’m grateful to everyone who believed in this project and helped bring it to life.”
