The National Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences of Russia lauded Bely Tigr (White Tiger) with its Golden Eagle award in a ceremony this week at Moscow's Mosfilm studio. The World War II drama directed by Karen Shaknazarov follows a Russian tank driver who faces off against a Nazi White Tiger tank. Bely Tigr was Russia's submission for the Foreign Language Oscar, but failed to make the short-list. Bely Tiger did not sweep the ceremony. Best Director was awarded to Andrei Proshkin's Orda (The Horde), while acting plaudits were given to actor Danila Kozlovsky for Dukhless (Soulless) and actress Anna Mikhalkova for Lyubov S Aktsentom (Love with an Accent).
