The competition at the 61st Berlinale came to an end tonight with a glitzy star-studded ceremony in the Berlinale Palast. Jailed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi was again honoured in his absence, whilst Diane Kruger was among the actors who were in attendance. Here were the winners from the main competition section of the festival, as selected by a jury headed by Isabella Rossellini.
