Summary: The class of non-autonomous functionals under study is characterized by the fact that the energy density changes its ellipticity and growth properties according to the point; some regularity results are proved for related minimizers. These results are the borderline counterpart of analogous ones previously derived for non-autonomous functionals with \((p,q)\)-growth. Also, similar functionals related to Musielak-Orlicz spaces are discussed, in which basic properties like the density of smooth functions, the boundedness of maximal and integral operators, and the validity of Sobolev-type inequalities are naturally related to the assumptions needed to prove the regularity of minima.
