Cannes Announces Winners of 2005 Cannes Film Festival!

Hey folks, Harry here with the winners of this year's CANNES FILM FESTIVAL... not nearly the showboaty films of last year, but excellent no matter what. I'm looking forward to getting to know more about all of these - though I have to admit - from a completely geek front, I was rooting for David Cronenberg's HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. Here ya go...

Palme d'Or (Golden Palm): "The Child," Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (Belgium)

_Grand Prize: "Broken Flowers," Jim Jarmusch (United States)

_Jury Prize: "Shanghai Dreams," Wang Xiaoshuai (China)

_Best Director: "Hidden," Michael Haneke (Austria)

_Best Actor: Tommy Lee Jones, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" (United States)

_Best Actress: Hanna Laslo, "Free Zone," Israel

_Best Screenplay: "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," Guillermo Arriaga (Mexican screenwriter, U.S. film)

_Golden Camera (first-time director): "Me and You and Everyone We Know," Miranda July, (United States), and "The Forsaken Land," Vimukthi Jayasundara (Sri Lanka)

_Best short film: "Wayfarers," Igor Strembitskyy (Ukraine)
