The best film of the last year was “The Champion of the World”

The film award “Golden Eagle” was awarded to a film that raises many questions

In the First Pavilion of the Mosfilm Studio, awards were presented based on the results of 2022. Any significant award is designed to reflect the processes taking place in the film industry, and not turn into another distribution of awards. On the “Golden Eagle” films that are distinguished by the author’s search are ignored.

According to the film academy created by Nikita Mikhalkov, among the best films of the year were “A Healthy Man” by Pyotr Todorovsky Jr., “Once Upon a Time in the Desert” by Andrei Kravchuk, “The First Oscar” by Sergei Mokritsky, “Heart of Parma” by Anton Megerdichev and the winner in the end ” World Champion ”by Alexei Sidorov, one of the producers of which was Mikhalkov himself. This picture, modest in artistic merit, was also awarded for the best directorial and camera work (Mikhail Milashin), for music (composer and student of Eduard Artemiev Artem Vasiliev). And the performer of the role of Anatoly Karpov, Ivan Yankovsky, received an award for the best male role in a movie. It is surprising that Anatoly Karpov also accepted this cardboard film. Nothing offended the outstanding chess player, since he went on stage with the team to receive laurels.

Among acting works on television, the role of Yevgeny Stychkin in Alibi was noted, and the television series itself, filmed by Nurbek Egen, was recognized as the best. Nikita Efremov was in the lead with “Patient Zero” in the acting category of online series. The best male supporting role, according to film academics, was played by Yevgeny Mironov in The Heart of Parma. The work of the production designers of this historical canvas based on the novel by Alexei Ivanov – Pavel Novikov and Vladimir Trapeznikov, as well as the costume designer Ekaterina Dyminskaya, sound engineer Rostislav Alimov, was also noted.

Pyotr Todorovsky was awarded for the script of “Healthy Man”. This film brought awards to actresses Irina Starshenbaum (best female role in a movie) and Daria Balabanova (for a supporting role). Yulia Khlynina was awarded for her leading role in the TV series “Elizaveta”. In a similar nomination in online series, Anna Mikhalkova was in the lead with the film Alice Can’t Wait.

Timur Alpatov’s “The Artist” became the best series of the online platform. “Best Non-Fiction Film” – “Phase of the Moon” by Andrey Osipov. Among the short films, Tatyana Zhukova’s “A” was noted. “Finnik” by Denis Chernov won in the animation section. For the best editing (Alexander Koshelev) and special effects, film academics noted “Once Upon a Time in the Desert”.
