Cannes Awards: Female-Centered Stories Win Big in Cannes, as Sean Baker’s ‘Anora’ Earns Palme d’Or


The closing ceremony for the Cannes Film Festival has begun, as director Greta Gerwig and her fellow jurors prepare to reveal this year's winners.

A long time ago (45 years, to be precise), Francis Ford Coppola won the Palme d’Or for “Apocalypse Now.” Now, the “Megalopolis” director is set to take the stage at the Cannes Film Festival once again, this time to present an honorary Palme d’Or to his friend George Lucas. Hosted by “Call My Agent” star Camille Cottin, the awards show for the 2024 Cannes Film Festival competition is underway. Jury president Greta Gerwig presided over a jury that included Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, Turkish actor-screenwriter Ebru Ceylan, Italian actor Pierfrancesco Favino, American actor Lily Gladstone, Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda, Lebanese actor-director Nadine Labaki and French stars Eva Green and Omar Sy.
