My predictions based solely on the general reactions (since I'm not in Cannes and haven't seen anything) so I might be totally off because Jury =/= critics.

Palme d'or: The Seed of the Sacred Fig
Grand Prix: Anora or All We Imagine As Light or they tie.
Best Director: not sure, maybe The Substance or Caught by the Tides or Grand Tour? (I don't think actors being in a jury makes a difference 10:16 )
Special Jury Prize: depends on what didn't get any of the top 3. The Substance? Grand Tour? All We Imagine As Light? A tie can very well happen here. It would be funny though if Andrea Arnold gets another Jury Prize. Or maybe she finally gets Best director.
Screenplay: Anora, if it doesn't get any of the top 3 awards. Not sure otherwise
Best Actress: Karla Sofia Gascon for Emilia Perez. Another possibility is that this is where the tie happens and she ties with Mikey Madison (Anora gets screenplay + actress).
Best Actor: depends the least on the other categories as it seems all the most acclaimed male performances are from films unlikely to get anything else.
My top possibilities: 1) Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong for The Apprentice (this would not consistute a tie), 2) Jesse Plemons for Kinds of Kindness or 3) Ben Whishaw for Limonov.

We're interested in having FLOW into our film festival, so I'm happy to see you guys excited for it. I find it ridiculous that you sat right in front of someone who was on the phone for the entire duration of the film. Like, you've already paid a bunch of money to be in Cannes and you're going to be on the phone. Did you see "Armand" in Un Certain Regard by any chance?

Fun to see both your predictions for the various prizes. I wasn't at Cannes (although some of our staff went there), but I could see you both be very correct on these choices based by what I've heard.

The best channel covering cannes to be honest. Just a word of suggestion, you guys shouldn’t use the background music playing all the time, the conversation is exciting enough.

What about megalopolis do you think it is possible it gets an award to try and make sure it gets a distributor

[FrakkinToasterLuvva]

For those who have seen Emilia Perez: did all 4 actresses really deserve the best actress award? Or could this be a case where some jury members wanted to give it to Karla Sofia Gascon but others had issues or were afraid of controversy because she's trans, so this was a compromise?

[FrakkinToasterLuvva]

If they are going to award performances from The Apparentice, hy not both Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong? Wouldn't be the first time they awarded two or more actors from the same film.

So much for the “locked” Palme d’Or 😂Anora for the win!
