How to watch the 2025 Cannes Awards Ceremony Live -Stream

The 2025 film festival in Cannes had precarious history, and he still managed to enjoy the splendor that can offer this art form. While the annual international event may come to an end, it leaves a crowd of gemstones that will continue to be discussed in the course of the year and may even end up at the Oscars level in 2026, as was the case with Sean Bakers 2024 Palme d'Or winner “Anora”. But before that it is the important act to close the celebrations with the always important award ceremony.

For fans and critics, the prediction of the palm recipient has become an esteemed pastime, but as every year the final decision is in the hands of the main competition jury. This year it will be managed by the French actress and current president of the European Film Academy, Juliette Binoche, and also includes Halle Berry, Dieudo Hamadi, Hong Sang-Soo, Payal Kapadia, Carlos Reygadas, Alba Rohrwacher, Leïla Slimani and Jeremy Strong. Films that were presented in the UN -determined respect, such as Scarlett Johansson's “Eleanor the Great” and Harry Lighton's “Socius”, are assessed by the jury President Molly Manning Walker and Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Louise Courvosisier, Vanja Kaluđerčić and Roberto Minervini.

Many films are used for the palm this year, but distributor Neon seems to secure his bets for the sixth victory in a row. During the festival, it received three functions in addition to the four that it bought before this year's festival: Kleber Mendonça's historical thriller “The Secret Agent”, the Iranian dissident Jafar Panahis Nagel-Biter “It was just an accident”, and Oliver Laxes Rave-Tarragon “Sirât.” Sirât. Neon acquired the North American sales rights to Julia Ducarneau's body horror “Alpha” and Joachim Trier's “sentimental value” at last year's festival before both went into production.

After the successful introduction of “The Substance” last year and during this year's award ceremony, Mubi also jumps into the Palme d'Or Fray with acquisitions of Mascha Schilinski's generations -epos “Sound of Falling” and Lynne Ramsays Maternalem drama “Die My Love”. The distributor had already bought Kelly Reichardt's historical raid film “The Mastermind” and Oliver Hermanus' Romance “A History of Sound”, both of whom were premiered.
