Al 58° Festival del Cinema di Berlino, l’Orso d’oro è stato assegnato all’esordiente Josè Padihla con il suo film “La tropa d’elite”, una pellicola in cui si racconta come la mafia e la droga si insinuino nella vita della popolazione più povera del Brasile e di come le squadre speciali possano essere molto corrotte.

L’Orso d’argento va a Paul Thomas Anderson con “Il petroliere”, per la miglior regia e per la miglior colonna sonora (di Johnny Greenwood).

L'Orso d'argento per il miglior attore: Reza Najie per il film Avaze Ginjeshk-ha

L'Orso d'argento per la miglior attrice: Sally Hawkins per Happy Go Lucky di Mike Leigh

L'Orso d'argento - Gran Premio della giuria: Errol Morris per il documentario Standard Operating Procedure

L'Orso d'argento per la migliore sceneggiatura: Wang Xiaoshuai con In love we trust

“Caos calmo”, diretto da Antonello Grimaldi ed interpretato da Nanni Moretti ed Isabella Ferrari, unico film italiano in concorso alla Berlinale, non ha ottenuto alcun riconoscimento.
