A few hours ago over at the Berlin Film Festival, the jury began giving out their annual awards for the fest. All of the prizes have now been given out, so I wanted to point them out to you all quickly. The top prize of the Golden Bear is the beg one of course, but sometimes the Silver Bear winners can be even more interesting. Especially if you already have an eye towards next year’s Oscar hopefuls, that’s certainly the case here. While the Chinese film noir Black Coal, Thin Ice won the Golden Bear, taking the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prix was Wes Anderson’s much anticipated The Grand Budapest Hotel. The other really notable prize was the Silver Bear for Best Director (basically their Best Director prize and arguably the second biggest award at the fest), which went to Richard Linklater for his ambitious work on the passion project Boyhood.
