Cannes 2026 Jury Splits Awards With Director, Actor, Actress Ties
At Cannes 2026, jury president Park Chan-wook led a panel that awarded ties in three major categories: Best Director (La Bola Negra’s Javier Calvo & Javier Ambrossi tied with Paweł Pawlikowski for Fatherland), Best Actor (Emmanuel Macchia and Valentin Campagne for Coward), and Best Actress (Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto for All Of A Sudden). The outcome sparked questions about the decisions, while Chloe Zhao praised the Palme d’Or as reflecting the jury’s diversity and Park quipped that he had no choice in the end.
