So, that’s a wrap. You’ve seen all the full winners of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival here, maybe you’re shocked, maybe you’re surprised, or in many cases just angry at what many are calling “head scratching” choices from the jury lead by George Miller (“Mad Max: Fury Road“), but just remember the judges are a random group of people each year and much harder to predict than the rather consistent governing body of voters in the Academy.
For some audiences, Cannes doesn’t really man as much as it does to the hardcore cinephile that believe Sonia Braga was robbed. So to that end, here’s some visual context, trailers and clips of all the winners* (if applicable).
