On the first day of the festival, besides many Czech celebrities, the expected Swedish actress Alicia Vikander (with her husband Michael Fassbender) also appeared on the red carpet. Australian actor Russell Crowe topped off the star parade. He, like Vikander, received the award from Jiří Bartoska. The opening ceremony also featured the unveiling of a new theme song starring last year's star Johnny Depp. The evening was traditionally hosted by Marek Eben.
