The 76th Cannes Film Festival is coming to a close tonight with the highly anticipated Palme d’Or awards ceremony, where Ruben Ostlund’s jury will reveal the winners inside the Palais. We’ve got you covered with the updated list of winners below, so keep scrolling!
It’s been an exciting two weeks here on the Riviera, starting off with the star-studded premiere of Johnny Depp’s Jeanne du Barry and continuing with the highly anticipated world premieres of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, all out of competition. In the main race, 21 films are vying for the top prize, including titles from renowned filmmakers like Wes Anderson (Asteroid City) and Todd Haynes (May December), as well as previous Palme d’Or winners Nuri Bilge Ceylan (About Dry Grasses), Nanni Moretti (Il Sol Dell’Avvenire), Ken Loach (The Old Oak), Wim Wenders (Perfect Days), and Hirokazu Kore-eda (Monster).
Some of the standout films receiving high praise include Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera, and Aki Kaurismaki’s Fallen Leaves, alongside Perfect Days and May December. However, as we all know, Cannes juries are anything but predictable, and this year’s jury is no exception. The panel includes two-time Palme d’Or laureate Ostlund, director Maryam Touzani, actor Denis Ménochet, writer/director Rungano Nyoni, actress/director Brie Larson, actor/director Paul Dano, writer Atiq Rahimi, director Damián Szifron, and director Julia Ducournau.
