Cannes Film Festival Winners Announced (Updating Live)
Jury president Juliette Binoche, Halle Berry, Jeremy Strong and the entire Cannes Film Festival jury took the stage to announce the Palme d'Or winner.
Bringing a turbulent world together through cinema, the 78th Cannes Film Festival went off largely without a hitch ââ despite hosting a day of films honoring Ukraine at the outset, two persecuted Iranian filmmakers in competition and provocative films from both Israel and Gaza in various sections. That is, unless you count the massive power blackout that hit the entire region on the final day of the festival, disrupting screenings and causing general confusion among festgoers.
Fortunately, the festival had backup generators running, ensuring that the show would go on at the Palais, where jury president Juliette Binoche and eight other film artists took the stage to present their awards at the closing ceremony.
