The past few days may have been a blurry combination of elegant\u00a0ball gowns and star-studded\u00a0photo calls, with everyone vying for their 15 minutes of glamour on the red carpet<\/a>, but let's not forget what the Cannes Film Festival is essentially about: a celebration of the best films of all genres from around the world, with the Palme d'Or<\/strong> being one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry.<\/p>

On Sunday, the 68th edition of the Cannes Film Festival <\/a>came to a close with the Palme d'Or going to Jacques Audiard<\/strong> for his drama Dheepan.\u00a0<\/em>The film tells the story of three Sri Lankan Tamil refugees who pretend to be related in order to leave their war-torn country and move to Paris.\u00a0Although well received by critics, it was far from an obvious favourite, which made its announcement quite a surprise for many.<\/p>

The\u00a0Grand Prix award<\/strong>, which is the runner up to the Palme d'Or went to first time filmmaker Laszlo Nemes<\/strong> for Son of Saul,\u00a0<\/em>the acclaimed Holocaust drama about a Jewish prisoner who works as a Sonderkommando (person who clears\u00a0the dead bodies in the camp) While doing his job, he comes across the corpse of a young boy who happens to be his son. Many expected this gripping movie to be a shoo in for the Palme d'Or but it's been 26 years since a debut film has snagged the award.<\/p>

Other contenders who went home happy include Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien<\/strong>, who bagged the best director award for his martial arts movie\u00a0<\/a>The Assassin<\/em>. The best actress prize went to both Rooney Mara<\/strong> from Carol<\/em> and Emmanuelle Bercot<\/strong> from Mon Roi<\/em>. Most expected the split to be between Mara and Carol<\/em> co-star Cate Blanchett. Thankfully the best actor award wasn't so complicated with\u00a0Vincent Lindon<\/strong> snagging it for his performance in\u00a0The Measure of a Man.\u00a0<\/em>The Jury Prize went to Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos for his film The Lobster<\/em>, a deadpan dsytopian comedy about a future where unmarried singles are turned into the animal of their choice. The Palme d'Or for best short film was given to Lebanese director Ely Dagher<\/strong> for his film Waves '98.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Despite the selfie stick ban and the controversial heelgate, Cannes continues to be the film festival that sets the benchmark for everyone in the entertainment industry.<\/p>
