It may have been largely shut out of the Academy Awards, but the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis" got at least one more Best Picture honor to round out its awards season, as the International Cinephile Society today named it the best of 2013. The group of over 80 film journalists, academics and industry professionals -- of which yours truly is a member -- also handed the film wins for Best Original Screenplay, Best Ensemble and Best Actor for Oscar Isaac, who tied with "The Wolf of Wall Street" star Leonardo DiCaprio. Also taking a quartet of awards was "Blue is the Warmest Color," which won for Best Foreign Language Film, Actress, Supporting Actress and Adapted Screenplay, and finished second to "Davis" in the Best Picture vote. Interestingly, Alfonso Cuaron took yet another Best Director win (alongside ones for cinematography and editing), though "Gravity" only placed seventh in the Best Picture vote.

MOSCOW -- "Mongol", Sergei Bodrov’s Genghis Khan biopic, which was nominated for a best foreign language film Oscar but lost out to the Austrian film, "The Counterfeiters", has won six Nika Awards, the Russian equivalent of the Oscars.
The win included film, director (Bodrov), cinematography (Sergei Trofimov and Rogier Stoffers), sound design (Stephan Konken, Bruno Tarri?re, Maxim Belovolov), art direction (Dashi Namdakov and Yelena Zhukova) and costumes (Karin Lohr).
The Best Film prize was awarded by Mikhail Shvydkoy, head of the Russian Federal Agency for Culture and Cinematography, who remarked, "Finally we have lived long enough to see that the state is no longer in debt to cinema. More films are being shot than there are festivals and prizes. Nevertheless, I hope that [Russian] cinema will remain an art and a mission, and will not be exclusively aimed at commercial success."
The other titles nominated for best film were Alexei Balabanov’s "Cargo 200", Alexei Popogrebsky’s "Simple Things", Vera Storozheva’s "Traveling with Pets" and Anna Melikian’s "The Mermaid".
"The Mermaid", did garner a win for best actress for Masha Shalyayeva, who had previously won best actress at the Kinotavr Festival, Russia’s key forum for domestic films.
