'Winter Sleep' Wins the Palme d'Or

The Cannes Film Festival jury handed out its prizes today, ahead of the fest's official closing tomorrow. Surprisingly, the coveted Palme D'Or went to the three and a half hour Turkish film Winter Sleep, directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, which received respectfully positive reaction at its premiere, but hardly ecstatic. The jury tastes though are often unpredictable at these festivals. Here's how the rest of the awards shook out:

  • Palme d'Or: Winter Sleep
  • Best Director: Bennett Miller, Foxcatcher
  • Best Actor: Timothy Spall, Mr. Turner
  • Best Actress: Julianne Moore, Maps to the Stars
  • Grand Prix: The Wonders
  • Jury Prize: Mommy, Goodbye to Language
  • Best Screenplay: Leviathan

The Cannes honors normally don't mean much for Oscars later on in the year, although I'm sure that Bennett Miller and Timothy Spall in particular will continue to be talked about in the coming months.
