CANNES 2014: JURY AWARDS PREDICTIONS


Here are my predictions for tonight's Cannes awards. Master of ceremonies Lambert Wilson will preside over the evening, where Jane Campion will reveal the results of her jury's deliberation. 18 films screened for the nine jury members, who will hand out awards in seven categories. After what has been, my many accounts, a strong year at the festival, several highly acclaimed features will likely go home empty-handed. For example, it was with reluctance that I could not include Alice Rohrwacher's The Wonders or David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars in my predictions. Regardless, here's what I'm officially predicting will go down tonight, though I don't expect this to be the case by any accounts.

Palme d'Or
Mommy (Xavier Dolan)

Grand Prix of the Jury
Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)

Prix du Jury
Leviathan (Andrei Zvyagintsev)

Prix de la Mise-en-Scene
Jean-Luc Godard (Goodbye to Language 3D)

Prix d'Interpretation Feminine
Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night)

Prix d'Interpretation Masculine
Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner)

Prix du Scenario
Damian Szifron (Wild Tales)

Best Short Film awards and the Camera d'Or prize will also be distributed at tonight's event.
