They are connected only by a dog, which has become a vehicle of their feelings.

The title of best actor of the past year was awarded to Timothy Spoll, who played a major role in the biographical film "Mr. Turner." The film tells about the last 20 years of the life of the British painter William Turner, whose work then many did not understand and criticized for the liberties allowed in his works. According to critics, the best actress of the year was Marion Cotillard for her lead role in the drama Two Days, One Night.
