Rendering 10: 'The Golden Eagle Award'

The article ‘Golden Eagle – 2013’Who got the main Russian award?’ was published by Nino Takaishwili in Woman.ru on January 26, 2013. It reports at length and carries commentaries about the 11th award ceremony ‘Golden Eagle,’ which winners were Danila Kozlovskiy, Anna Mikhalkova, Irina Rozanova, Sergey Makovetsky and many others.
   Speaking of the ceremony, it’s interesting to note that the choice of its presenters was the surprise for everybody, as they were the actress Anna Snatkina and her husband Victor Vasiliev, who, it seemed, was honored for that the first time. There’s every reason to believe that the zest of the award was the presentation of the films that pretended to the main prize in the category of ‘The best feature film of the year’: the video was represented, where children tried to say something about each of nominees. And according to the audience, it succeeded.
   Analyzing the ceremony, it’s necessary to emphasize that The Best Actor got Danila Kozlovskiy for the role in Духless/Soulless; in the nomination ‘The best actor on the television’ the winner was Sergey Makovetskiy for the role in Case of the Grocery №1; the Best Actress took Anna Mikhalkova for the role in Love with an Accent, though she wasn’t agree with the Academy with the choice, as there were nominated other two outstanding actresses – Roza Hairullina and Renata Litvinova. After the ceremony Nikita Mikhalkov said that he liked his daughter’s work, as it was her best role. It would be wrong not to mention other nominations and winners: the Best Supporting Actress took Viktoriya Tolstoganova for the role in Spy, though she was nominated for several times but it was her first prize. However, the film The Horde by Andrey Proshkin took five awards (the Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design), though White Tiger by Karen Shahnazarov won the Best Picture, as well as Music, Editing and Sound.  
   The article concludes by saying that there were four winners: Soulless by Roman Prygunov, The Horde by Andrey Proshkin, Spy by Alexey Adrianov and Vysotsky: Thank God I’m Alive by Andrey Smolyakov; and enumerating winners for the Award: Best Picture – White Tiger, Best TV movie – The White Guard, Best TV Series – Zhukov, Best Documentary – Anton’s Right Here, Best Animated Film – Bach, Best Director – Andrey Proshkin, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art Director, Best Costume Design, Best Original Music, Best Editing, Best Sound and Best Foreign Film – The Artists.
   As for me, I will say in brief that I am glad we have the actors and directors, worthy of the award "Golden Eagle", as the future of the Russian cinematograph depends on them.

    When you render a Russian article, you are to highlighten its key points and find at least 2-3 English articles on the same (or similar) subject to pick up proper vocabulary (dictionaries are less helpful in this respect!)
