And now for the Ramsay:

Matt Hoffman‏ @hoffmanonfilm
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE - Best film in comp. Haunting, shocking, stunning. Phoenix BEST ACTOR. #Cannes2017

Jamie Graham‏ @jamie_graham9
Joaquin Phoenix goes full Travis Bickle in Lynne Ramsey's at times inspired, always riveting You Were Never Really Here #Cannes2017

david ehrlich @davidehrlich
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE: Lynn Ramsey directs Joaquin Phoenix in an art house TAKEN with Jonny Greenwood's best score. Yes plz #Cannes2017

The Playlist‏ @theplaylist
#LynneRamsay's '‘You Were Never Really Here' w/#JoaquinPhoenix just stole Cannes says our @jessicakiang . Review to come.

Peter Bradshaw‏ @peterbradshaw1
The ghost of Travis Bickle haunts Lynne Ramsay's humid and nightmarish You Were Never Really Here #Cannes2017 #Cannes70

Alex Billington‏@firstshowing
We Were Never Really Here - Badassery from Lynne Ramsay. Joaquin Phoenix as great as always saving young girls. Helluva score, helluva film.

Bilge Ebiri‏ @bilgeebiri
Lynne Ramsay's YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE: Oh, I fucking *loved* this.

Jordan Hoffman @jhoffman
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE: Lynne Ramsay's worst, but Nicolas Winding Refn's best. #Cannes2017

Glasgow Film Fest‏ @glasgowfilmfest
Lynne Ramsay's #YouWereNeverReallyHere is a brutal, unforgiving 21st century #TaxiDriver with a killer soundtrack. AH

Anna Smith‏ @annasmithjourno
I loved #YouWereNeverReallyHere and then it ended. Masterful filmmaking but all too brief. #Cannes2017

Melissa Silverstein @melsil
Yeah. Lynne Ramsay is fucking back. You Were Never Really Here is is a tour-de-force, beautifully shot and totally bonkers. #Cannes2017

Melissa Silverstein‏ @melsil
Lynne Ramsey for the Palme d'Or. Mesmerizing tale of an angel of mercy saving girls from pedophiles. Must see again. So much subtly.

Isabel Stevens‏ @isstevens
You were never really here: bloody, visceral, nightmare-thriller from Lynne Ramsay. We need to talk about her & the Palme d'Or #Cannes2017

AADowd‏ @aadowd
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE: Beautifully brutal nervous breakdown of a noir, like TAXI DRIVER in shards. Maybe my favorite comp of #Cannes17

Jason Gorber @filmfest_ca
Lynn Ramsey's YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE - relentless revenge thriller w/ killer Bickle-like turn by Phoenix. Stylish, deadly #Cannes2017

Nikola Grozdanović‏ @nikgroz
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE: Fantastic Lynne Ramsay film, its use of violence reminded me of DRIVE; Phoenix as brilliant as ever. #Cannes2017

Tim Grierson‏ @timgrierson
YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE: Dazzling technique and twitchy, idiosyncratic style bend you to its will, however reluctantly. #Cannes2017

knew it the second I saw that clip. Good on Ramsay 🙌

Final predix:

PALME D'OR: Wonderstruck
GRAND PRIX: Beats Per Minute
JURY PRIZE: Okja
BEST DIRECTOR: Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here)
BEST ACTOR: Robert Pattinson (Good Time)
BEST ACTRESS: the female cast (The Beguiled)
BEST SCREENPLAY: The Killing of a Sacred Deer

Notes:
Apparently Almodóvar loved Wonderstruck the most, since it's the only film for which he stayed during the credits clapping. And it's a film that's hard to dislike apparently, which makes me think it can still win the Palme d'Or as I was predicting before the festival. The rest is pretty open, no clear frontrunner and lots of divisiveness. The kind of jury we have here and some of the jurors' agendas (Park's friendship with Bong, Chastain's defense of women in the industry, Volver winning for its cast could make Almodóvar do the same...) could tip the balance.

Noobish question here but what's the difference between those first three awards?

Why so serious?

Yeesh, the Polanski's getting punished:

Donald Clarke @donaldclarke63
Polanski's BASED ON A TRUE STORY is reel stoopid, but it does pass the time. #Cannes2017

Mark Donaldson‏ @oldmankrondas
Polanski's "Based on a True Story" revisits familiar themes for him and writer Olivier Assayas. Persona by way of Misery without any tension

Guy Lodge‏ @guylodge
If nothing else, Polanski's utterly daft BASED ON A TRUE STORY offers the sight of Eva Green attacking a smoothie-maker with a rolling pin.

Kyle Buchanan‏ @kylebuchanan
BASED ON A TRUE STORY was done no favors by screening after the much more fun, kinkier Ozon. Points for casting Eva Green as Sam Lutfi tho

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

I assume it's tomorrow, but I have no idea what time.

Typically, they are in the evening, which means we'd get the results/stream (if there is one) sometime in the early afternoon.

Perhaps our Best Actor winner :eek:

People are also saying he never left Cannes. It would definitely be a swerve if he won, though.

EDIT: Though, in scouring Twitter, I'm seeing a lot of critics talking him up as their personal choice.
