Folks, the 76th Cannes Film Festival has come to a close! In true Awards Radar / Cannes fashion, the predictions that Robert and I made here a few days ago weren’t too accurate, but followed a different logic than the Jury. Now, we did each once again a notable category right, as Robert nailed Kōji Yakusho‘s Actor prize for Perfect Days, while I managed to ace the Palme d’Or, which went to Anatomy of a Fall from Justine Triet. As for the rest, Jonathan Glazer‘s The Zone of Interest took the Grand Prix, coming up just shy of the top prize. The rest can be seen below…
