Concluding this weekend is the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival and with a jury headed by Steven Spielberg, we’ve got our line-up of winners this Sunday afternoon. First up, the coveted top prize of the Palme d’Or went to Abdellatif Kechiche‘s coming of age lesbian drama Blue Is The Warmest Color, which was recently picked up for a release this year.
The next highest honor of Grand Prix was awarded to Ethan and Joel Coen for their folk tale Inside Llewyn Davis. In the acting categories, Berenice Bejo grabbed top honors for The Past, while Bruce Dern earned a nod for his work in Alexander Payne‘s Nebraska.
