BBC FOUR WORLD CINEMA AWARD 2005: SHORTLIST
The winner of the 2005 Award was The Return.
In the words of award programme host, Jonathan Ross: "This is a shortlist
which is long on inspiration. There's more foreign talent here than in the Premiership.
But let's hope that the standard of refereeing is a little better."
