Disappointed the Dardennes didn't win, but we knew they weren't getting anything when they were recalled. But on the upside, it'll be Michael Haneke who gets to three palmes first. (Maybe even next year )

[Jake Gittes]

Haneke winning for three films in a row is even less likely than Dardennes winning for three films out of six.

Yeah but it's Haneke. He's already won Back to Back, defying all the rules. (The one from the 80s doesn't count as one was adapted from a television series and Coppolla released one film between his two wins out of Cannes.)Depending on the jury, we could very well see him win a third time. Get an Isabelle Huppert jury and he'll be locked for the win. Edited May 24, 2014 by riczhang

Yeah aside from Foxcatcher I have zero idea what any of these films are. 

[CoolioD1]

MOOOORE. 

 

So happy for her, can't wait to see the film, even though I haven't thought much of Cronenberg's recent output.

 

Winter's Sleep was one I was interested in before the festival but some of the reactions to it turned me off. Not surprised it won though.

I just haven't really loved any Ceylan films. Anatolia was good but nothing special so it really sucks that Ceylan won.

[riczhang]

I wonder who stanned for Miller. Didn't seem up their alley.

I quite liked Anatolia, didn't blow my dick off but it's pretty good. that' the only one of his I've seen though.

So happy for Bennet! 

[The Stingray]

So happy for Nuri Ceylan! And him receiving the honor from QT was the icing on the cake.

Miller's win is so surprising to me. As is Moore's, but in a good way. Yaaasss the queen completes her trifecta

KStew beats out Ruffalo,JK Simmons, Carell and 45 other actors for best supporting performance.

Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to see Stewart's work in Sils Maria. I was never interested in Twilight but she was good in Adventureland and Into the Wild. Now she seems to be following in Pattinson's footsteps, doing films like On the Road and this one, so that's pretty good to see.
