Palme d'Or
The Pianist

On a sidenote that is pretty funny, the director of Man Without a Past came on stage...drunk? almost collapses on Lynch as he whispers something to him. Walks around the stage as people cheered him. Comes to the mic and says

"First of all, I\d like to thank myself. Secondly, the jury. That's all."

He then walked right off stage snubbing all of the press. Funny to watch.

Im happy with the way things went, although i was rooting for Columbine. Pianist still deserved it. Very happy.

Im NoZeanderthal. And Im out.
