Nikita Mikhalokv, the festival's president and an Oscar-winning Russian director, said: "Brilliant actresses have deserved this prize on this stage, and today an actress has received this prize whose femininity, whose mystery, whose noble meaning over the decades have charmed and riveted audiences." Moreau said she usually liked to share prizes with other people, but on this occasion would keep the award for herself as she was surrounded be the shadows of many celebrated directors, actors and writers thanks to whom she won the award.
