Entertainment Desk: The prestigious Cannes Film Festival has announced its complete jury lineup for its 77th edition, with a star-studded cast of international filmmakers set to join jury president Greta Gerwig in selecting the winners from this year’s competition lineup.
Among the esteemed jurors are Oscar-nominated actors Lily Gladstone, Omar Sy, and Eva Green, alongside Italian actor Pierfrancisco Favino. They will be joined by a trio of acclaimed directors: Nadine Labaki from Lebanon, Juan Antonio Bayona from Spain, and Kore-eda Hirokazu from Japan.
The competition promises to be fierce, with notable films vying for the coveted Palme d’Or, including Francis Ford Coppola’s highly anticipated “Megalopolis,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ follow-up to “Poor Things”, “Kinds of Kindness”, and David Cronenberg’s “The Shrouds.”
Cannes juries have a history of selecting films that go on to receive acclaim during award season, with last year’s Palme d’Or winner, “Anatomy of a Fall,” earning accolades at the Oscars.
The 77th Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to run from May 14th to May 25th, promising another exciting showcase of international cinema.
