TAMA Film Awards Give Best Picture To Hamaguchi's Soudain And Okita's Satoko Wa Itsu Mo
TAMA opened Japan's domestic film awards season with a double Best Picture, splitting the top prize between an internationally known director's latest and a smaller human drama, and the shared acting prizes point to a year without a single dominant film.

The 18th TAMA Film Awards, run by a citizens' volunteer executive committee, announced its winners on the 2nd. Best Picture went to Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Soudain and Shuichi Okita's Satoko wa Itsu mo. Best Actor went to Masahiro Motoki and Tasuku Emoto, Best Actress to Riho Yoshioka and Mio Imada, with newcomer prizes, a Special Award, tickets by lottery from October 31, and a ceremony on November 28 at the Parthenon Tama Large Hall.
The Best Picture award at TAMA goes to the director, cast, and staff of the most energetic work of the year, and this time the committee named two: Soudain and Satoko wa Itsu mo. Supporting prizes were split as well. Masahiro Motoki and Tasuku Emoto share Best Actor, Riho Yoshioka and Mio Imada share Best Actress, and the newcomer categories each carry two names.
