Your 2009 Angouleme Prix Winners
The weekend just past was the weekend of the
Festival International de la Bande Dessinee in Angouleme, France. A
number of awards were announced during the festival -- some aligned with the weekend, some simply made on the weekend one imagines to better attract attention.

FESTIVAL/GRAND PRIZE
*****
Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angouleme 2009: Blutch (aka Christian Hincker)
The festival's big award goes to one of the worlds but sumptuous comics artists, as the recent movement toward cartoonists emerging in the 1990s now has enough winners to its name that it's a new reality rather than a movement.

OFFICIAL PRIZES
*****
Fauve D'Or:
Pinocchio, Winshluss (Les Requins Marteaux)
The book of the show, or best comic prize.
*****
Essentiel Patrimone:
Operation Mort, Shigeru Mizuki (Cornelius)
An award to the essential historical volume, which I take to mean older material.
*****
Essentiel Revelation:
Le Gout du chlore, Bastien Vives (Casterman)
The newcomer award.
*****
Les Essentiels D'Angouleme:
Lulu femme nue, premier livre, Etienne Davodeau (Futuropolis);
Martha Jane Cannary Vol. 1, Blanchin and Perrissin (Futuropolis);
Le Petit Christian Vol. 2, Blutch (L'Association);
Tamara Drewe, Posy Simmonds (Denoel);
Spirou et Fantasio: Le Journal d'un ingenu, Emile Bravo (Dupuis)
A list of award-winning books that replaces the more elaborate, by-division and by-category awards of years past.
*****
Essentiel FNAC/SNCF:
Mon gras et moi, Gally, (Diantre)
Maybe like a sponsor's award?
*****
Essentiel Jeunesse:
Le Petit Prince, Joann Sfar (Gallimard)
The main youth comics award. It was my understanding that not everyone loved this adaptation when it came out, so I wonder if it's a bid deal that it secure the win.
*****
I am deeply confused by the festival site's reportage on the rest of them. If I can figure out who won what and for what exactly, I'll fill this the rest of the way out.
