Serie A leaders Juventus have picked up five of the top awards at the annual Italian football "Oscars", which are based on the votes of their fellow footballers.

Juve's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic won two awards, for Best Foreign Player and Most Loved Player.

"Winning prizes is always a pleasure, and especially these because they come from your colleagues," Ibrahimovic said.

His team-mates Gianluigi Buffon and Fabio Cannavaro came out top in the Best Goalkeeper and Best Defender categories.

Juventus boss Fabio Capello was voted Best Coach.

Juve's dominance was broken by Milan striker Alberto Gilardino, who scooped the award for the Best Player in Serie A.

Six-times World Referee of the Year Pierluigi Collina, who retired at the start of this season, capped his career by winning the Best Referee award.
