TOKYO -- The 26th Tokyo International Film Festival held closing ceremony on Friday evening with Swedish dramedy "We are the best" being awarded the Sakura Grand Prix while Chinese actor Wang Jingchun won the "best actor" by his excellent performance.

The Swedish director Lukas Moodysson told the closing night crowd at the Toho Cinema Roppongi Hills theater that he had no expectations his picture would prevail. "It's not the kind of film that wins prizes," he explained.
