Cannes 2011: The Palme D'or and Awards

Probably no surprise, despite the audience boos (those French, what do you expect?), Terrence Malick's latest, which is receiving rave reviews, won the Palme d'Or. Also not much of surprise, but the widely praised performances of Jean Dujardin and Kirsten Dunst won Actor and Actress. Woody Allen's latest Midnight in Paris went home empty handed, but its stellar Friday night debut in limited release is award enough.
