Trivia
- 13 former "best feature film"-winners where the Dutch submission for the Academy Award for Best International Film, including Oscar-nominee Twin Sisters and Oscar-winner Character. The other two Dutch Oscar-winners, The Assault and Antonia's Line, didn't win the Golden Calf for Best Feature Film. Oscar-nominee Paradise Now from Dutch-Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad was submitted by Palestine.
- Hans, Life Before Death is so far the only Documentary-film to ever win this prize. According to the "Jaarboek film 1984" by Hans Beerekamp, this was a compromise choice when the Golden Calf-jury and organizers of the Netherlands Film Festival didn't agree on the final winner.
- Most of the films that won are predominantly Dutch or English spoken. However it has happened 3 times that a film won in one of the minority languages spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands: Nynke in West Frisian, Son of Mine in Limburgish and Buladó in Papiamento.
- Ben Sombogaart is the only director who directed 3 of the winning films. Joram Lursen, Jos Stelling, Jean van de Velde, Alex van Warmerdam, Pieter Verhoeff and Paul Verhoeven all directed 2.
