25th Teddy Award Award Winners

I imagine that the 25th Anniversary party must be in full boom right now (have seen pics) but organizers had time to upload winners at their site and if you wish to check the news there go here or go to Berlinale official site here and scroll down to Teddy Awards.

Winners are in *BLUE.
