Can anyone tell me more about "Man of the Year Award (Cinema) Moscow." Who gives this award & why did George MacKay get it???
Thanks,
Jan
Late reply - but I've just seen Sunshine on Leith twice in the past fortnight :-)
I did a quick google search - and we even get pics :-) Seems they spelt his name incorrectly...

On December 20, the Kremlin Palace hosted the award ceremony for the annual Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia "Man of the Year".
The FJC Russia established the "Man of the Year" award in 2002 to recognize people who have made significant contributions to the development of the cultural and social life of the country, regardless of their nationality and religion....
In the Film category, actor George McKay (sic) received the award for his portrayal of Jewish partisan Aron Bielski in the feature film "Defiance."
