The event is organised by the Culture Ministry and the Beyoglu Municipality, the center of the Turkish Film Industry. 1500 eligible voters from Cinema, Media and Business Circles awarded the Best Actor to Onur Saylan for his part in Autumn, while its director Ozcan Alper was awarded for Best First Film.

The two most popular films of the year fared poorly. Issiz Adam- Alone (By Cagan Irmak) won for Best Music, and Cem Yilmaz's A.R.O.G. (with the director starring) went home empty-handed.
