Here's the list of winners at Cannes Film Festival 2014

Finally all the speculation can stop. The awards have been announced and the festival is over, which means film critics can get out of rain-drenched Cannes and everyone who isn’t at Cannes can begin their hunt for prize-winning foreign cinema. This year’s Cannes jury was headed by director Jane Campion. There will be disappointment that films like Two Days One Night didn’t get any prize crumbs for the jury, but most of the films that were noticed by critics were also noticed by the jury. Palme d’Or: Winter Sleep by Nuri Bilge Ceylan This Turkish director has been described as many as Turkey’s Ingmar Bergman and is a Cannes favourite. Winter Sleep is longer than your average Bollywood film — its runtime is 196 minutes — and it’s about a man’s delusions of grandeur. In his acceptance speech on Saturday night, Ceylan said that to win the Palme d’Or was a “great surprise” but also, it felt fitting because this year marks the 100th anniversary of Turkish cinema. [caption id=“attachment_1541735” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Reuters ](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/WINTER_NEW.gif) Reuters[/caption] Grand Prix: The Wonders by Alice Rohrwacher Rohrwacher’s film about a part German and part Italian family that struggles with their established way of life coming to an end. Oliver Lyttleton of IndieWire described it this way (and turned out to be quite accurate in his prediction): “A gentle and textured coming-of-age story, it’s undoubtedly one of the stronger competition films to date, and could well find favor with Jane Campion’s jury, but we found it a little too neat and … Sundance-y, for want of a better word, to love it unreservedly.” Best Director: Bennet Miller for Foxcatcher Miller’s film about the paranoid millionaire John Du Pont, who murdered Olympic champion Dave Schulz, has won great praise. Given the list of luminaries in the competition this year — Jean Luc Godard, Mike Leigh, the Dardenne brothers — winning the prize for best director must feel exceptionally good. Best Actor: Timothy Spall in Mr. Turner Best Actress: Julianne Moore in Maps to the Stars Timothy Spall’s portrayal of the British painter JMW Turner won all the critics over and in fact, Mr Turner was considered a favourite for the Palme d’Or. Considering all the praise Spall has received for his acting, this is probably the first of many awards he’ll win for this role. Julianne Moore played an ageing actress in David Cronenberg’s vicious portrait of the needy, twisted world of Hollywood in Maps to the Stars. While Moore’s performance was praised, one of the favourites for the best actress award was Marion Cotillard in Two Days One Night. Best Screenplay: Andrey Zvyagintsev and Oleg Negin, for Leviathan Leviathan was another favourite for both the Palme d’Or and the best director prize. Set in contemporary Russia, the film is about a man who unwittingly finds himself in a terrible fight with the Russian political system. Jury Prize: Mommy by Xavier Dolan and Goodbye to Language by Jean-Luc Godard There’s something rather poetic about the jury prize going to these two filmmakers because they’re on opposite ends of the age spectrum. At 25, Dolan has directed six films and his latest, Mommy, was considered a favourite for the Palme d’Or. Godard is 83 and very much the grand daddy in the world of art film. The star of Goodbye to Language was Godard’s dog and, true to its title, there wasn’t much by way of dialogue since much of the film is a dog’s eye view of the world. OTHER PRIZES Camera d’Or: Party Girl Short Films Palme d’Or: Leidi Short Films Special Mention: Aissa Ecumenical Jury Prize: Timbuktu Un Certain Regard Prize: White God Jury prize: Force Majeure Special Prize: The Salt of the Earth DIRECTORS’ FORTNIGHT PRIZES Art Cinema Award: Les Combattants Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers Prize: Les Combattants Europa Cinemas Label: Les Combattants CRITICS’ WEEK PRIZES Grand Prize: The Tribe Visionary Prize: The Tribe Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers Prize: Hope
