OK Now I am believing 'A Ghost Story' has a great chance to be an Un Certain Regard choice. Ain't them Bodies Saints came to Cannes but Fruitville Station, which won most of the Sundance FF awards, that year, was also at Cannes and won awards there. AGS won awards at Sundance this year and opens this summer, perfect timing, it seems to me that a selection for Lowery, Rooney, and 'the ghost' is very possible. We will see very early tomorrow my time. Charles Did I miss something? I thought AGS was ignored for awards at Sundance despite the great reviews. With AGS surely David will be taken seriously at Cannes, and they already love Rooney. AGS and MM both have good chances :) .  I was under the impression it won an audience award, maybe that was a misquote. Charles |

Regarding A Ghost I'm not surprised is a really small arthouse with awesome reviews and a talented company behind that makes us think that it has awards chances but still it's small

I realised that Rooney Mara is Cannes Actress Winner alongside Juliette, Isabelle... and Marion, Cate, Nicole? are not...
Rooney makes very easy and beautiful being her fan.

If only Pedro was member of the jury in 2015 instead of Dolan.

Isn't there another lineup that's suppose to be released on April 25? Not that I am aware of, however, the Festival may add a few more films. Possibly the April date you mention is when the selections are finalized. Maybe someone else can clarify. Charles |

Indie Wire Selection DiscussionThe above link is an interesting commentary on the 2017 Selection. Comments reflect what many of our members have already said. The 2016 Cannes Selection ProcessThis one goes into detail about the last minute decisions, one example below: So last year there was at least one important late addition, maybe the same will happen this year.

Charles I LOVE Lucrecia Martel so her absence is sad. Harvey's Wind River....Mary M wasn't ready or Garth is not artistic enough? I will cry next year when Leos Carax was the king of the lineup. Not really but yes. Vox Lux is like the ugly cousin... |

Todd and Joaquin for the win ! :woohoo2:
I really hope that injustice to Todd will be corrected this year (wait...is Dolan >:D member of the jury again ? )
I don't know well the story. Dolan was against Best Picture? Director? Who was behind leave Cate without award alongside Rooney? |

"Canadian cinema’s enfant terrible Xavier Dolan, who was 26 last year and premieres his sixth film in Cannes this year, happens to be great pals with French actor-director Emmanuelle Bercot. Bercot took half of a Best Actress prize for her performance in Maïwenn’s tempestuous love story Mon roi, as well as directing the opening night film, Standing Tall. During her acceptance speech, Dolan could be seen wiping away tears.
He was also, as luck would have it, a jury member, and by all accounts his popularity with head jurors the Coen brothers and some of the other judges, who included Jake Gyllenhaal, Sophie Marceau, Sienna Miller and Guillermo del Toro, may have suffered markedly in the process.
Todd Haynes’s Carol, widely tipped for big prizes, had to make do with a shared Best Actress for Rooney Mara – the explanation being that Dolan had far less time for it than anyone else, and may have resorted to some toys-out-of-pram tactics to block it from higher consideration.
Meanwhile, the winning film, Jacques Audiard’s Dheepan, was a marginal surprise that felt – despite its considerable merits – as though it might not have been many jurors’ first choice. “Everyone had some high level of excitement and enthusiasm for it,” was Ethan Coen’s reasoning.
He also got a final dig in. When Dolan said, “I somehow feel like a better person” towards the end of the jury press conference, Coen was simply heard to mutter, “You’re not.”
(and you know, it doesn't help that he has a punchable face of arrogant douchebag)

Love the Coens. Always the most unpretentious, level-headed and down to earth filmmakers in Hollywood. |
