Day 7 Update for our Jury Grid.
All of a Sudden look out! Minotaur got unanimous praise from our jury.
Sheep in the Box, Paper Tiger and The Unknown are seemingly the biggest disappointments of the #Cannes2026 Competition so far.
Fjord is also getting a lot of praise.
A letter, signed by Indy the Dog from ‘Good Boy,’ was sent to The Academy calling for the inclusion of animal actors in the acting categories.
“I have been deemed ineligible for the Best Actor category. Apparently, I am not a good enough boy for you.”
