Bosnian toothless gypsy's unlikely accolade

Nazif Mujic, the Gypsy scrap metal collector shows his award - the Silver Bear for best actor of the 63rd Berlin Film Festival at his home in the village of Poljice, 150 kms northeast of Sarajevo, on Wednesday, April 10, 2013. People in the Gypsy village of Poljice say they will never forget the night they almost fell off their chairs two months ago. Did they really hear the elegant woman on TV correctly? Could she really be talking about their neighbor, the toothless man who passed his days selling scrap metal and lived in the shack down the road? The camera switched to a frightened-looking Najif Mujic. Yes it was him. THEIR Nazif _ who had just left Matt Damon and Jude Law in the dust to win the best actor award at the Berlin Film Festival.
