Note ↑ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Flow (Latvian: Straume) is a 2024 animated fantasy adventure film directed by Gints Zilbalodis, written and produced by Zilbalodis and Matīss Kaža. A Latvian, French and Belgian co-production, it features no dialogue and follows a cat trying to survive along with other animals in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world as the water level dramatically rises.

The film premiered on 22 May 2024 at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in a Un Certain Regard section, and was released in Latvian theaters on 29 August, followed by subsequent releases in the rest of the world until March 2025. It has grossed US$50 million at the global box office.^[1] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 182 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "Thanks to its innovative animation and mature themes, going with this Flow proves irresistible."^[2] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 87 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

Flow received critical acclaim, becoming the most-viewed film in Latvian theaters in history, foreign films included. Earning multiple awards, it was the first Latvian film to earn Academy Award recognition, and the first independent animated film to win Best Animated Feature.^[3] It also became the first animated film without dialogue to win in the category. It also received a Best International Feature Film nomination as Latvia's submission, becoming the second animated film to do so after Flee.^[4] Flow was the first Latvian film to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award, winning Best Animated Feature Film; the statuette was later put on display at the Latvian National Museum of Art.^[5] Additionally, Zilbalodis was honoured as "Rigan of the Year" in 2024.^[6]
