The news from Cannes. Winners have been announced at the Cannes Film Festival. What will gather the most attention? In what context? Will it be

• Roman Polanksi's "The Pianist" winning the Palm d'Or?


• Paul Thomas Anderson's winning Best Director for "Punch-Drunk Love" (starring -- and here are words you likely never expected to see in close proximity to "Cannes Film Festival" -- Adam Sandler)? Okay, so it has Phillip Seymour Hoffman in it, too. Or...


• Michael Moore's winning the special Cannes 55th Anniversary Award for "Bowling for Columbine"?

Contexts? What contexts? Oh, contexts might include mass-media outlets (East Coast, West Coast), showbiz outlets like Variety, weblogs (particularly certain almost predictable-response ones), your home-town paper, your mom's Xmas newletter, etc.

Complete list of winners here at the festival's site.

Oh yeah... Here's a moldy old Lisp joke: (cons 'film 'festival).
