And the new Kechiche is apparently (and predictably) a 3.5-hour collection of ass shots without any kind of story but with an explicit 15-minute cunnilingus scene, of course! I actually like Kechiche (haven't seen "Mektoub 1" though) but I really do wonder how he got that competition slot considering his feud with Cannes and how niche this film seems to be. I'm not someone who thinks that festivals like this are for anticipated American entries only, but it just seems weird that something like "The Lighthouse" (which sounds far more interesting and peculiar) doesn't get in the main comp while this does. It’s currently 0% on RT. I know there are a few people on here that have already decided that they are going to love it.

Un Certain Regard winners:
Un Certain Regard Award: The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão, dir. Karim Aïnouz
Jury Prize: The Fire Will Come, dir. Oliver Laxe
Best Director: Kantemir Balagov, Beanpole
Best Performance: Chiara Mastroianni, On a Magical Night
Un Certain Regard Heart Prize: The Climb and A Brother’s Love
Special Jury Prize: Albert Serra, Liberté
Special Jury Mention: Joan of Arc, dir. Bruno Dumont
Happy for Aïnouz, I should watch more of his stuff.
Now if the Competition jury can follow suit and throw some love to Kleber Mendonça Filho and Bacurau to make up for George Miller & co. snubbing Aquarius in 2016, that'd be great.

1. Give a special prize to The Lighthouse because it should've been in comp and we all know it.
2. Snub Dolan across the board.
3. SONIA.

Rumors are that they are asking Song Kang-ho (Parasite) and Mati Diop back. Makes sense.

Wow, there is some sort of beautiful poetry in the fact that Kechiche literally auctioned off his Palme trophy to finance this film ... lmao. I'm surprised that he was even permitted to do that. I know the Academy doesn't allow Oscar statuettes to be auctioned off like that (unless I'm mistaken). Also, given the subtitle, are we supposed to expect another installment here? Is Kechiche gonna move on to something else or is he gonna spend the next 5-6 years trying to find funding for a 4-hour Canto Due that no one's asking for? wait what? how is that even possible to prohibit that?

Mektoub My Love starts out with a whopping 12/100 on Metacritic. Watch out Sciamma.

I have no idea how they enforce it, but it's a thing. Apparently you can only sell the statue back to the Academy and no one else, but I'm not sure how they'd even keep track of that.

So from what I read here and there: * Almodovar might (because we know from past Festivals how different are the tastes of critics from the ones of directors and actors) take something big, either the Palm, Grand Prix or Banderas. Also Favino is talked about for the Actor prize. Haenel has the advantage of having Campillo in the jury, for whom she acted in 120 battements par minute, and she is also French. The film of Sciamma seems of such low quality tho, with cheap costumes, no soundtrack. From time to time it looks like a Hungarian porn movie. Also the film about the black people in the Paris suburbs will get something. Let's not forget these artists love minorities and stuff.

Does anyone know when they're presenting the awards?
I'm crossing my fingers tight for Sciamma, she's amazing.

Awards are being presented at 1 p.m. EST.
I'm still thinking Sciamma wins the Palme, but Parasite is a major candidate for a spoiler.

my bets, which could be all wrong:
palme d'or: parasite, bong joon-ho grand prix: atlantique, mati diop best director: quentin tarantino, once upon a time in hollywood prix du jury: bacurau, kleber mendonça filho best actress: adele haenel, portrait of a lady on fire best actor: antonio banderas, dolor y gloria best screenplay: portrait of a lady on fire caméra d'or: les miserables, ladj ly
I really think portrait of a lady on fire would win something big, but if it wins the palme or the grand prix, adele haenel can't win best actress. and if she doesn't win, who does? and it feels weird not to predict malick for something in a iñarritu-led jury, but I can't fit him in anything.

Last minute predictions, mostly meritless due to knowing who was called back:
Palme d'Or: Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Céline Sciamma) Grand Prix: Parasite (Bong Joon-ho) Jury Prize: Bacurau (Kleber Mendonça Filho & Juliano Dornelles) Best Director: Mati Diop, Atlantique Best Actor: Antonio Banderas, Pain and Glory Best Actress: Emily Beecham, Little Joe Best Screenplay: (TIE) It Must Be Heaven (Elia Suleiman) and Young Ahmed (Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne) Caméra d'Or: Les Misérables (Ladj Ly)
And a special prize for César Diaz's Our Mothers.
Not too far from what I was expecting, though I imagined they'd go for Malick, Loach and Tarantino over Bacurau, Little Joe and Young Ahmed.
