  1. @lazygarfield @jamesrocchi We are Cannes flatmates, along with @cobblehillis and @catherinebray. A happy household, and a ready-made sitcom.
  2. Updated with commentary: Michael Haneke's 'Amour' takes the Palme d'Or at Cannes hitfix.com/in-contention/…
  3. All five of the Competition filmmakers handed awards tonight have won at Cannes before. Could the festival *be* any more cliquey?
  4. Don't feel bad, HOLY MOTORS. This is the company you're in. // The Lists: Top 10 Cannes Film Festival losers hitfix.com/blogs/in-conte…
  5. @Oog That's what they're doing.
  6. I saw 18 of the 22 Competition films. Two of the four I missed won prizes. Hey, I tried.
  7. Full commentary to come. // Michael Haneke's 'Amour' takes the Palme d'Or at Cannes hitfix.com/in-contention/…
  8. Less than thrilled with the Cannes winners. But @jamesrocchi has just made me a bacon and asparagus omelette to die for and life is good.
  9. @FilmFan1971 @JigsawLounge I put £20 on Reygadas for the Palme. Close!
  10. Mads Mikkelsen is good in THE HUNT. Very good, even. But Denis Lavant? That's next-level stuff.
  11. Well, on aesthetic grounds, I'm relieved Reygadas hasn't won the Palme. But damn it, I'd started mentally spending that £660.
  12. Diane Kruger appears to be wearing one of the Pyrenees. Oh, and Ken Loach won the Jury Prize. Business as usual, then.
  13. Introducing the jury. Briefly forgot that the French for actor is "comedien." I was all, "Hiam Abbass is a comedian?"
  14. @HighSierraMan Well, if it's Reygadas, that won't be conservative -- but it will be terrible.
  15. @pratyushkh Very good. See it.
  16. Kylie Minogue presenting an award. At least *someone* from HOLY MOTORS gets to go on stage.
  17. Sitting in my flat, watching the awards on TV. This all feels too easy.
  18. I'm predicting Ken Loach gets the special 65th anniversary award for Outstanding Achievement in Existing.
  19. @AskDebruge @HighSierraMan Apparently Moretti *hates* it.
  20. Yay, more awards for Ken Loach.
