4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "I think this answer and 'outstanding non-competing movies' from Jean-Jacques Alexandre were the most natural. In the end I opted for 'the non-competition films which were nevertheless highlights of the year', but I think your version is perhaps better. Thanks!"

: Not only are there no ears in the original but, even if the required hyphens were inserted, this doesn't sound right in English.
