[Gerow Aaron]

In one of the first big Japanese film awards to be announced, the Mainichi Film Award for best film was given to Drive My Car, directed by Hamaguchi Ryusuke. Nishikawa Miwa’s Under the Open Sky got the runner up award. 

Hamaguchi also got best director, but it was Miwa’s film that got more awards, including best supporting actor, cinematography, and music. Zeze Takahisa’s In the Wake got best actor and best supporting actress, while Ishii Yuya’s Madder Red won best actress, and the two best newcomer awards.

Best documentary went to Hara Kazuo’s Minamata Mandala, and best animation went to The House of the Lost on the Cape. The Tanaka Kinuyo award went to Miyamoto Nobuko.
