EARLIER: The 2026 Cannes Film Festival has concluded after two weeks of screenings, with Saturday’s closing ceremony held at the Lumière Theater marking the moment when the competition jury will announce the winner of the Palme d’Or, and other awards.
Earlier in the day, a report emerged that eight films would be awarded prizes tonight: “Coward,” “All of a Sudden,” “Minotaur,” “The Black Ball,” “The Dreamed Adventure,” “Fjord,” “A Man of His Time,” and “Fatherland.”
This year’s jury was presided over by filmmaker Park Chan-wook and included directors Diego Cespedes, Laura Wandel, and Chloé Zhao, alongside actors Isaach de Bankolé, Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, and Stellan Skarsgård, as well as screenwriter Paul Laverty.
