Benefit performance of Ivan Yankovsky: received five prestigious statuettes

In the First Pavilion of Mosfilm, the Golden Eagle film award was presented for the 22nd time based on the results of 2023. According to the Film Academy, created by Nikita Mikhalkov, the best film was “The Bullfinch” by Boris Khlebnikov. And this is progress compared to last year’s result, where the “World Champion” was in the lead, and there were no words to explain such absurdity.

Five films competed for the title of “Best Film” this year: the eventual winner “Bullfinch”, “1993” by Alexander Veledinsky, “Challenge” by Klim Shipenko, “At the Command of the Pike” by Alexander Voitinsky, “The Righteous” by Sergei Ursulyak.

In “Snegir” the “Golden Eagles” also awarded to: sound director Maxim Belovolov, editing director Ivan Lebedev, visual effects – ALGOUS studio, which competed with itself, also presenting “Challenge” with “Lord of the Wind”. .

“Best director’s work” – Sergei Ursulyak. This is “The Righteous Man,” which also brought Alexander Yatsenko an award for best actor in a film. He played the real person Nikolai Kiselyov, who in 1942 led more than two hundred Jews behind the front line and became the “Righteous Among the Nations.” Several years ago, two of the children he saved visited MK. By that time, they were already very elderly people and throughout their lives they never ceased to thank Kiselev for saving their lives.

Best Actor in a Supporting Film – also in “The Righteous” for Yevgeny Tkachuk. Sergei Ursulyak, receiving the award, said that he deserved it because he shot a film with such actors. Another “Golden Eagle” flew to the cameraman of “Righteous” Mikhail Milashin.

“Best Actress in a Film” went to Anna Mikhalkova in the film “Anna’s Feelings” by another Anna, director Anna Melikyan. The heroine Mikhalkova also had a “naked party” with an unexpectedly appeared lover (excellent work by Oleg Yagodin). Mikhalkova was fairly criticized for her nudity in Melikyan’s very unusual decision, and at the award ceremony she decided to joke about another “naked party” that excited the whole country.

“Best Screenplay” – “1993” directed and screenwriter Alexander Veledinsky based on the novel by Sergei Shargunov. Alexandra Child was also noted for her supporting role in this film.

“Best television series” – “Bison. The case of a fashion model” by Sergei Chekalov. Sergei Bezrukov played in it, according to film academics, the best male role on television. He competed with himself in “Spy” and with Alexander Yatsenko in “Chaliapin”. Bezrukov received his first “Golden Eagle” for Lieutenant Kravtsov in the TV series “Plot”. 20 years have passed, and now he receives the second golden bird for Major Bessonov. “My competitor was Colonel Rybin,” said Bezrukov. “There is hope, after another 20 years, to get paid for a general,”

“Best Actress on Television” went to Elena Yakovleva, who played a pensioner and former mathematics teacher in Miroslav Malich’s “The Lady with a Dog” who found a new occupation during her well-deserved retirement.

“Best online series” – “Fisher” by Sergei Taramaev and Lyubov Lvova, which also noted Ivan Yankovsky and Alexander Yatsenko, who were originally nominated as a couple, as the best actors in the online series. The younger Yankovsky was in the same category as his father, Philip Yankovsky. They both attended the ceremony and the son asked him for forgiveness for winning. Philip Yankovsky was nominated for “Black Cloud,” which brought the award to Maryana Spivak as the best actress in an online series.

This is Ivan Yankovsky’s fifth “Golden Eagle”, which is unprecedented in principle and taking into account the actor’s age. He is 33 years old. In previous years, Ivan received recognition from film academics for “The Queen of Spades”, “World Champion”, where he played Anatoly Karpov, “Text” and “Fire”. This time he also competed with himself, since he was also presented with the “Volunteer Playlist”. In a year, Ivan Yankovsky has a chance to get the sixth bird for “The Boy’s Word. Blood on the asphalt” – Nikita Mikhalkov praised the series and even undertook to defend it from attacks.

Anna Mikhalkova also constantly receives Golden Eagles. A year ago, she won the online series category with the film “Alice Can’t Wait.”

“The best work of a production designer” goes to Sergei Fevralev in Karen Shakhnazarov’s film “Khitrovka. The sign of four.” Costume designers Dmitry Andreev and Vladimir Nikiforov were also recognized for this film.

“The best music for the film” was written by Alexey Rybnikov for “Lord of the Wind” by Igor Voloshin about the Russian traveler Fyodor Konyukhov.

“Best Documentary Film” – “Melnikov” by the young director Marina-Maria Melnik about the tragic fate of the architect Konstantin Melnikov, who left us his masterpieces and was betrayed by his student, who deprived him of the right to do what he loved.

“Best Animated Film” – “Cats of the Hermitage” by Vasily Rovensky, which had worthy competitors: “Bright Souls” by Anastasia Zhakulina and “Harms” by Svetlana Andrianova. Best short film – “Highway of Enthusiasts” by Fyodor Kravchuk.

“A simple Soviet cameraman” Anatoly Mukasey was awarded for his contribution to cinema. This summer he celebrated his 85th birthday. Mukasey has been working at Mosfilm for more than 60 years. He shot “Attention, Turtle!”, “Scarecrow”, “Nose”, “Telegram” with Rolan Bykov, “Beware of the Car” and “Give me a Complaint Book” with Eldar Ryazanov in tandem with cameraman Vladimir Nakhabtsev, and with Alexey Korenev – “ A big change” and “For family reasons”, with Boris Yashin – “The First Girl”, with his wife Svetlana Druzhinina – the whole “Midshipmen” franchise.

Yulia Peresild was among the contenders for “best actress in a movie” with the film “Challenge” by Klim Shipenko, but the presence of Anna Mikhalkova makes the choice for the “Golden Eagle” uncontested. The first actress to be in space was awarded for this. They came up with a special prize for her. Yulia’s daughter, young actress Anna Peresild, sang at the ceremony, presenting the film “Challenge” with the participation of her mother. The director of this film, Klim Shipenko, was not noted in any way, and in general this evening was a triumph for another TV channel. Therefore, Konstantin Ernst was not present. But Nikita Mikhalkov came, who recently, for health reasons, often misses events in which he is involved.
