"Anatomy of a Fall" and "The Animal Kingdom" will win the most prestigious prizes. Best animated film on a theme that has been well explored in cinema for a century (human life on Mars): Mars Express.

Best editing for a trial film almost behind closed doors which can therefore only escape boredom if it is admirably edited, which is the case here: The Goldman Trial. Best original music in the rare absence of Alexandre Desplat: the delicate Gabriel Yared.
