Scarlett Johansson has won best actress at the Rome Film Festival for her role in Spike Jonze's Her, in which she appears only as the voice of a computer who falls in love with her owner played by Joaquin Phoenix. The role was originally filled by Samantha Morton but Jonze felt that Johansson would be more appropriate, only casting the actress after filming had been completed.The Best Actor gong went to Matthew McConaughey for his role in The Dallas Buyers Club where he plays Ron Woodroof, a Texan who is diagnosed with AIDS and begins smuggling medication into the States. Best Film went to Tir, a documentary about a Bosnian man who becomes a truck driver after failing to find work as a teacher, and Best Director went to Kiyoshi Kurosawa for the Japanese thriller Seventh Code.
