Created in 2001 at the initiative of Caroline Scheufele, a passionate film enthusiast, the Trophée Chopard annually rewards two youthful talents from the world of cinema. This year, the Trophée Chopard Committee chose to distinguish Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki and British actor Joe Alwyn. The two laureates were handed their awards by Diane Kruger, the distinguished patroness of the Trophée Chopard 2018. She herself won this prize in 2003 and was honoured with the Best Actress award at last year’s Cannes Film Festival.
