Golden Bear Awards Judges Announced

An Oscar-winning actress is top among the panel of judges just announed for the prestigious 2009 Berlin Film Festival.
Tilda Swinton will head the international jury, the organisers have announced.
The 48-year-old will lead a panel of actors, film-makers and producers who will choose winners of the festival's coveted Golden and Silver Bear prizes.
The star won a best supporting actress Oscar earlier this year for her role as a ruthless lawyer in 'Michael Clayton'.
Ms Swinton made her screen debut in 1986 in Derek Jarman's 'Caravaggio', which won a Silver Bear prize at the same festival.
Earlier this year, the actress founded, co-curated and produced a film festival in her hometown of Nairn, Scotland.
She can be currently seen in the Coen brothers' latest film, 'Burn After Reading', alongside George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
The 59th annual Berlin Film Festival will run from 5 to 15 February.
