Nika Award

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of an award that people get for doing something really awesome? Well, the Nika Award is one of those awards but it's specifically given to movies.

Think of it like a special prize that a movie can win if it's really good. People who work in the movie industry decide which movies get the award by watching lots of different movies and picking the best ones.

The Nika Award is named after a famous Russian movie director named Nikita Mikhalkov. He wanted to create an award that would celebrate the best movies made in Russia, kind of like how we give out awards for good work in school.

So, if a movie wins the Nika Award that means it's really good and lots of people enjoyed watching it. It's like getting a gold star for making an amazing movie!
