"Michael Haneke&amp;#039;s The White Ribbon won the Palme d&amp;#039;Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. Haneke edged out top contenders including Quentin Tarantino&amp;#039;s Inglourious Basterds, the Pedro Almodovar-helmed Broken Embraces and Isabel Coixet&amp;#039;s Map Of The Sounds Of Tokyo for the acclaimed film prize. The Austrian director&amp;#039;s previous movies include The Piano Teacher, Hidden and Funny Games.  Accepting the award, Haneke said: &amp;quot;Sometimes my wife asks me a very feminine question: &amp;#039;Are you happy?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;That is very hard to answer. But today is a moment in my life where I can say I am very happy, and I am thinking of you too,&amp;quot; he said, addressing his wife in the audience. Meanwhile, Chistoph Waltz won best actor for his portrayal of a multilingual Nazi in Inglourious Basterds, while Charlotte Gainsbourg was named best actress for her role as a grieving mother in Lars Von Trier&amp;#039;s Antichrist.
