Barbie’s mastermind Greta Gerwig has been bopping around this year’s Cannes Film Festival as the jury president, leading the charge on which movie would be crowned the Palme d’Or this evening. Francis Ford Coppola’s fever dream Megalopolis, Yorgos Lanthimos’s twisted Kinds of Kindness, and the Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice are among the 22 contenders for the coveted award. However, tonight’s show isn’t just about the big prize; George Lucas will join Meryl Streep and Studio Ghibli as Honorary Palme d’Or recipients. Plus, best acting, best directing, and other technical awards will be bestowed onto filmmakers.
Here are all the categories and nominees for tonight’s Cannes Film Festival 2024 closing ceremony.
