 And so the most prestigious film festival in the world comes to an end, with the “awards season” taking a vague shape right behind it.

Earlier this year we saw no less than five films from Cannes receive Oscar nominations, including opener Midnight in Paris, Palme d’Or champ The Tree of Life and eventual Best Picture winner The Artist.
