POLL: Who Will Win the 2015 Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or?
With the festival starting to wind down and the awards presentation this Saturday, it’s definitely time for Palme d’Or prediction poll. Competition seems to be pretty heated between Carol from Todd Haynes, Mountains May Depart from Jia Zhang-Ke and Mia Madre from Nanni Moretti. But there’s also room for Paolo Sorrentino’s Youth to take it or even the ultra-bleak Son of Saul from László Nemes. What about the Gyllenhaal connection with Denis Villeneuve? Will that color his vote? And how much impact will the dual votes of jury president Joel and Ethan Coen factor in? Will they agree and solidify a choice or disagree and spread votes?
All will be revealed on Saturday, May 23rd but the time for you to vote is now. Voice your thoughts on the other Cannes prizes awarded in the comments section.
