The Jury of the 64th Cannes Film Festival, presided over by Robert De Niro, and further comprised of Martina Gusman, Nansun Shi, Uma Thurman, Linn Ullmann, Olivier Assayas, Jude Law, Mahamat Saleh Haroun and Johnnie To, has awarded the Palme d'Or to Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life.

The Grand Prix has been split this year, going to both Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia and Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's The Kid with a Bike.

Nicolas Winding Refn wins Best Director for Drive.

Joseph Cedar's won the Best Screenplay award for Footnote.

Best Actor goes to Jean Dujardin for his performance in Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist.

Kirsten Dunst's won Best Actress for her performance in Lars von Trier's Melancholia. She thanked the Festival for allowing the film to carry on competing even though its director has been declared "persona non grata."

The Jury Prize goes to Maïwenn's Poliss. Accepting the award, the young director was clearly overwhelmed. As she struggled to speak, some may have worried that she might not survive the experience.

Pablo Giorgelli wins the Camera d'Or, presented to the director of a first feature, for Las acacias.

Maryna Vroda takes the Short Film Palme d'Or for Cross-Country.

I'm actually kind of surprised Tree of Life won the Palme D'Or. When was the last American movie to do that?

Isn't there usually an ecumenical jury at Cannes? I wonder what film they gave their prize to. Most likely the one by the Dardenne brothers, but I hear The Tree of Life is quite spiritual.

Never mind. They went with This Must Be the Place, the Sean Penn/Frances McDormand movie.

I wonder if Dunst received her award more for her performance at the infamous press conference.

Is there a video of this?
