Aside from winning the award, he was also given a new car. He laughed and said, "I would like to take the people most important to me out on a drive." Reporters were quick to ask if it was Koyuki he was implying. He replied seriously this time, saying "Yes. She also said that it's great for me to win the award." Both Konishi Manami and Wakamatsu Setsuro were present at the awards ceremony. Konishi accepted the award for Best Actress, while Wakamatsu picked up the award for Best Film for the movie Shizumanu Taiyo, which he directed.
As well, the 31st Yokohama Film Festival and the 83th Kinema Junpo Awards held a presentation ceremony and a press conference respectively. Mitsushima Hikari won the Best Newcomer Award for her film Love Exposure at the Yokohama Film Festival. She expressed, "You can only win a newcomer award once in your life. I am very happy for this." As for the film Dear Doctor, it picked up another award for lead actor Shofukutei Tsurube, who won the Best Actor Award at the Kinema Junpo Awards. "I can grace the cover of Kinema Junpo magazine alongside Matsu Takako (Best Actress Winner). This will certainly become my most prized possession," he joked.
