Which Ride or Die actor won a Golden Calf for the 2007 film Duska?

Sylvia Hoeks won a Golden Calf for the 2007 film Duska. The Dutch actress received the award for Best Supporting Actress at the 2007 Netherlands Film Festival, where Duska was presented as the opening film.

Directed by Jos Stelling, Duska is a Dutch comedy-drama about Bob, a lonely middle-aged man whose life is disrupted by an unexpected Russian visitor. Hoeks plays a cashier who works at Bob’s favorite movie theater and becomes the object of his affection.

The Golden Calf is the Netherlands Film Festival’s major national film award, making it an important early career milestone for Hoeks. The prize is sometimes loosely compared with an Oscar, but it is a Dutch award rather than an Academy Award.

Hoeks later became internationally known for films and series including The Girl in the Spider’s Web, Blade Runner 2049, Berlin Station, and Apple TV+’s See. The film title Duska is also sometimes confused with similarly titled Russian-language films, but this award concerns Stelling’s 2007 Dutch production.
