CANNES 2017 : Full list of winners

A great push for Joaquin Phoenix. Will add him to my predictions now.

Nicole will also have a killer year.

Yeah, I'd say that sounds like a Palme D'Or winner.

And Yes! Sofia!

Joaquin Phoenix is always on my predictions' list.. Great actor!

That screenplay tie is to die for <3<3💝

Because Cannes awards are notoriously unpredictable, given that they're chosen by a very small voting body which renews itself every year (so we have no previous history to go off of like with the Oscars) and which doesn't follow reviews or internet buzz. The most acclaimed titles of last year's lineup (Toni Erdmann, Paterson, Elle, Aquarius, The Handmaiden) all went home empty-handed, while the Palme winner hardly had much buzz, the Grand Prix went to something with downright bad reviews and most people can't even tell you the name of the Best Actress winner. Critical raves and Twitter hype mean little here.

And then there's the fact that most of these predictions were made before the films even premiered, so that ALL of the winners were on most people's radars to varying degrees before the festival had even opened makes them pretty damn strong, regardless of how they're distributed across the categories. It's a much harder game to predict these awards when each film can only win one prize (or two, in a few isolated cases like the Ramsay) and when you have such a small pool of people choosing them.

So you'd ask why we predict them if they're so hard to call, and the answer is: same reason we predict the Oscars in May. For fun.

Yeah , to all the people who were saying that she's done or that she's a box-office poison, well...UP YOURS !

What the hell is your problem   I was referring to general consensus

It wasn't in Main Competition, but it won Best Director at the Un Certain Regard tier.

Shut your trap and get the F* out of my face , you filthy peasant !
