2012 Cannes Film Festival Winners
By Dustin Jansick @DJansick on May 27, 2012
The jury announced the winners at the Lumiere Theater Sunday night for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Michael Haneke's Amour was awarded the top prize of the Palme d'Or as many thought would happen for the Cannes veteran director. Some of the other awards seemed to be less obvious, Best Director went to Carlos Reygadas for Post Tenebras Lux and Reality won Grand Prix. Behn Zeitlin was awarded Camera d'Or for his first feature film Beasts of the Southern Wild.
