Seven of Tokyo’s major sports newspapers announced their 52nd annual Blue Ribbon Awards on Wednesday. This year, the title of Best Picture was given to Daisaku Kimura’s “Tsurugidake: Ten no Ki.”
“Tsurugidake” was actually the first film directed by the accomplished cinematographer, who is 70 years old. Although the Best Newcomer prize is usually given to actors, he received it this year for his debut as a director. Meanwhile, the Best Director prize was awarded to Miwa Nishikawa, who previously won the award in 2007 for her movie “Yureru.”
