The 2013 Rober Awards Film Poll: And The Winners Are…

Blue_Is_the_Warmest_Colour-004

Boasting a record number of votes and no shortage of surprises our 2013 Film Poll came to a end with ‘Blue Is The Warmest Colour’ being given a last minute boost, perhaps thanks to their French fans who may have been feeling upset after its near total snub at this year’s Cesars. The Palme D’Or winner managed to take the lead in each of the four categories it was nominated for, including Best Picture over season’s favourite “12 Years A Slave” (which didn’t stop it from scooping a total of five Robers including the ones for best director, best ensemble, adapted screenplay and supporting actress for Lupita Nyong’o); best actress, where Lea Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos prevailed even against Oscar winner and unanimous favourite Cate Blanchett and Foreign Language, beating our best documentary winner “The Act Of Killing” and the all-conquering Italian submission “The Great Beauty”.

Other multiple winners this year were “Her”; “Gravity”; “Dallas Buyers Club”, reprising its Academy award acting honours, and the female-directed Iranian drama “Wadjda”.

Check the complete list of winners after the jump. Congratulations to all winners and nominees and thanks to everyone who cast their vote.
