Latest News: Do Cannes Festival Award Winners Give an Early Preview of Next Year's Oscars?

The 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival has come to a close with the announcement of this year's awards winners, as usual, a mixed bag of foreign and American films with varying degrees of buzz and levels of attention before the festival. Although the Cannes Film Festival takes place nearly four months before the actual start of festival awards season in September, the festival has often given clues of what films and performances might be celebrated at year's end both by critics and the film industry.

Winter Sleep, the new film from Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Climates, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia), a movie on few people's lips two weeks ago, won the top prize at Cannes, the Palm d'Or, over a number of films that were being highly praised by critics since their premieres. Previous films from Ceylan have received the festival's Grand Prix, but this is his first Palm d'Or.
