"I think the Palme d'Or is definitely for 'Adele's life'. ”

"No, no, no, in Spielberg's preference, it must be 'Drunken Country Folk', he is a director who is the best at weaving dreams, how could he give up 'Drunken Country Ballad'? This is simply the standard Palme d'Or in his mind!"

"How do I think it's like a father and a son? Didn't it mean that Hirokazu Kore-eda's whole team had returned? Spielberg and Ang Lee are both irresistible genres for family genres, and I think Naomi Kawase will choose this one as well. The odds suddenly increased dramatically. ”

"What about 'Drunken Country Ballad' and 'Adele's Life'?

"Adele's words could be the Grand Jury Prize, and Levine's words Best Actor?"

"No, no, I don't think so. I've heard that the Nebraska crew has returned, maybe they're going to win Best Actor, and then 'Drunken Country Balk' will go to the Palme d'Or or the Grand Jury Prize. ”

"Isn't it?" Bruce-Dern from Nebraska is doing a great job, but it's not comparable to Lan Li at all? If that's the case, it would be disappointing!

"This is Cannes, winning the Best Actor in Cannes is not as important as participating in the Palme d'Or, okay? I think there's nothing wrong with winning the Palme d'Or in 'Drunken Country Ballads', anyway, Lan Li doesn't need these awards to prove that he is good and outstanding, and if the Coen brothers win the Palme d'Or in the end, I feel happier. This also means that Lan Li finally participated in a work with a top award, not just his acting skills. It's not the same!"

"Wait, why did I hear that the crew of 'Venus in Fur' is coming back, and it looks like they're going to win the grand prize! Roman Polanski seems to be on his way back, and if it weren't for the Palme d'Or, he wouldn't have to come back, ......would he?

After a rumor was spoken, everyone couldn't help but make a noise in an instant-

"What?Roman?" "Isn't it?" "If it's Roman, that's too exaggerated!" "Steven probably won't agree, right?Hasn't the United States always changed its position on Roman?" "Oh my God, Roman's words, this is outrageous, and the quality of the finished product this time is unsatisfactory." "What is this? outrageous, outrageous!"

Emily's eyes widened involuntarily, and she couldn't believe her ears, but before she could express her opinion, the others were already chirping and exclaiming, and the feeling of English with all kinds of accents swarming and hugging was so strange that Emily couldn't help but laugh happily.

Today is the last day of the 66th Cannes Film Festival, there are no films released, everyone is waiting for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony in the evening!

The mystery of the annual Palme d'Or is about to be revealed, which is undoubtedly the most exciting and exciting time, and unlike the entire long awards season of the Oscars, all the awards are gradually coming to the surface, and the elusive and unpredictable attribution of the awards in just 12 days at the three major European film festivals, coupled with the jury system, is all the more exciting.

This year is no exception!

Early in the morning, Emily arrived at the official media center, joined the ranks of all media reporters, and while receiving the relevant winners of the FIPRESCI Film Critics Award in a kind of attention unit, while waiting for the closing ceremony in the evening, while discussing the gossip of the awards, the sense of anticipation, tension and excitement was slowly brewing, slowly stimulating the adrenaline explosion, and the whole person could not help but begin to get excited.

The media center was chosen instead of the red carpet scene at the Palais du Cinema. On the one hand, the red carpet of the closing ceremony is the work site of the director of photography, which is star-studded and lively, and on the other hand, because not all reporters at the award ceremony can enter it, mainly reporters with white and pink certificates.

Also, one of the most important reasons is message sharing. Staying in the media center, they can get the first update of the news, and the sense of participation is completely different.

Just now, the media center was sharing gossip about the Palme d'Or, and in a trance, they were eavesdropping on the discussion process in the conference room of the jury, which was really exciting.

For the layman, it must be extremely curious: if there is no awards season brewing and publicity, then how did the so-called award rumors come about?

Before we get into the details, we need to know a little bit about the Festival de Cannes.

Over the past 20 years, the awards in the main competition of the Festival de Cannes have been constantly changing and evolving with the times.

In 1991, the jury led by Roman Polanski awarded the Palme d'Or, Best Director, and Best Actor to "Barton Fink", which caused a lot of strong dissatisfaction, and after that, the Cannes Film Festival gave an official rule that each film could only win one award, unless it could be accompanied by an acting award.

For example, the Palme d'Or plus Best Actor.

However, this rule has since been violated three times.

In 1999, David Cronenberg awarded the Grand Jury Prize, Best Actor, and Best Actress to Bruno-Dumont for "Human, Sex/Nature/Sex".

In 2001, Liv-Ullmann awarded the Grand Jury Prize, Best Actor, Best Actress to Michael Hanneke's "Piano Teacher".

In 2003, Patrice-Chereau disregarded the awarding of the Palme d'Or and Best Director to Gus Van Sant's "elephant", which sparked public outrage and controversy.

If before this was just a secret rule, then after 2003, the Festival de Cannes explicitly stipulated:

Only one award can be tied for a double egg yolk, and the award cannot be a Palme d'Or, and only one award can be won for a film, unless it is for best screenplay or a jury prize for third place, and then with the approval of the festival president, there can be an actor award.

It is precisely because of this regulation that it also restricts at least six films from the seven awards in the main competition unit, and a maximum of eight films can win the award.

In other words, everything is certain!

So, where did the rumors and rumors on the day of the closing ceremony come from?

In fact, there are similarities with the Berlin Film Festival.

On the last day of the festival, all the jury members will gather in a sea-view estate called Domergue, near Cannes, where they will be shut down, all the judges' mobile phones and computers will be confiscated, and no contact will be made until the prizes are decided.

Generally, the judges start their discussions at 9 a.m. and must arrive at the results by noon so that there is enough time to call the winners back.

If the Palme d'Or winner was unable to accept the award in the end, this is really not a positive sign for the festival organizers, who still hope that the winners will be able to accept the trophy on the spot, with only a few unexpected circumstances - for example, the actor cannot make it back from the North American continent on the other side of the Atlantic, then they have no choice but to invite other crew members to receive the trophy on their behalf.

In 2004, Yuya Yanagi won the Best Actor at Cannes with "No One Knows" and became the youngest winner of the award in film history, but unfortunately, Yuya Liule, who was only 12 years old at the time, returned to Japan early, and finally the director was Hirokazu Kore-eda on stage.

The Venice Film Festival has the most say in this regard.

In recent years, with the rise of the Toronto Film Festival, most North American crews have chosen to promote in Toronto, and even if they come to Venice, they will immediately rush to Toronto for a second round of promotion.

When the jury selected the awards, many winners could not come back in time, so that every year at the awards ceremony, there will be a shortage of winners, especially the actor and actress departments, the frequency of disasters is particularly obvious.

This is actually very hurtful for the organizers of the Venice Film Festival. Ratings and influence are taking a huge hit.

Neither Cannes nor Berlin wanted that.

However, when notifying the crew, the main committee will not disclose the specific awards. Not only to avoid early spoilers, but also to avoid an embarrassing situation – telling the other party in advance that "you only won a third-place jury prize", and then the other party will have to travel back to Cannes just for a consolation prize, which seems reluctant, and many big-name crews may not be able to get away.

The rumors come from this process of "notification", which is also unavoidable.

When an actor or director or screenwriter is notified that he or she can win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, no matter what the award is, he may tell his agent, he may tell his producer, he may tell his public relations team, or even his family, friends and other crew members......

The party receiving the call may also call more people, or quickly start arranging the return trip and celebrations, so the airport staff, the travel agency staff who book the ticket, the party planning staff, the hotel front desk staff, etc., can be more or less aware of the news, and may even be in the excitement, inadvertently leaking their mouths and revealing the news.

As a result, the media reporters who stayed in Cannes used their vast network of contacts to start inquiring about the news, and they were able to capture a general outline in just a few words.

So, the media center is far more well-informed than the red carpet, and this is the home base of the journalists. For most journalists, it was much more fun to be in the media center on the day of the closing ceremony.
