The Cannes Film Festival 2024 is drawing to a close. Over the past dozen sunny days, we've laughed, we've cried, we've loved and even adored some of the films in the various selections, including the Directors' Fortnight,Un Certain Regard, Semaine de la Critique andAcid, but we've also hated some of the works.
In the official competition, 22 films were in the running for the Palme d'Or and the other prizes awarded on the evening of Saturday May 25. Each year, the Cannes Film Festival jury awards 7 prizes - in order of prestige: the Palme d'Or for the best film; the Grand Prix, the second most important prize; the Prix du Jury for a film that the jury as a whole has appreciated; the Prix d'interprétation masculine for the best actor; the Prix d'interprétation féminine for the best actress; the Prix de la mise en scène for the best direction of the competition; and the Prix du Scénario for the most successful screenplay.
American actress and director Greta Gerwig had the honor of presiding over the Cannes 2024 Festival jury. Alongside her were Omar Sy, Eva Green, American actress Lily Gladstone, Italian actor Pierfrancesco Favino, Japanese filmmaker Kore-Eda Hirokazu, Turkish screenwriter Ebru Ceylan, Lebanese director Nadine Labaki and Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona?
For our part, we've taken the time to make our predictions. So, who's going to win the Palme d'Or and the other prestigious awards at the 77th Cannes Film Festival?
