Anora was acquired by US studio NEON, continuing their streak of Palme d’Or wins following previous successes with films like Parasite and Titane. The Grand Prix award went to All We Imagine As Light by Payal Kapadia, marking the first Indian film in Cannes Competition in 30 years.

Mohammad Rasoulof’s The Seed of the Sacred Fig garnered a special Jury Prize for its powerful storytelling and political undertones. Jesse Plemons took home the Best Actor award for his role in Yorgos Lánthimos’ Kinds of Kindness, showcasing his versatile talent across multiple roles.

French director Coralie Fargeat received the Best Screenplay award for The Substance, a bold and gory film that explores societal beauty standards and the impact of misogyny in the entertainment industry. The awards ceremony featured standing ovations for deserving winners and an honorary Palme for George Lucas, presented by Francis Ford Coppola. The festival showcased a range of compelling films from diverse filmmakers, highlighting the talent and creativity present in the global film industry.
