Palme d'Or

The {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}; Template:Langx) is the highest prize awarded to the director of the Best Feature Film of the Official Competition at the Cannes Film Festival. It was introduced in 1955 by the festival's organizing committee. Previously, from 1939 to 1954, the festival's highest prize was the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film. In 1964, the {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} was replaced again by the Grand Prix, before being reintroduced in 1975.<ref name="Brief History">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is widely considered one of the film industry's most prestigious awards.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

History

The Commune of Cannes coat of arms

In 1954, the festival decided to present an award annually, titled the Grand Prix of the International Film Festival, with a new design each year from a contemporary artist.<ref name="Brief History" /> The festival's board of directors invited several jewellers to submit designs for a palm, in tribute to the coat of arms of the city of Cannes, evoking the famous legend of Saint Honorat and the palm trees lining the famous Promenade de la Croisette.<ref name="Brief History" /> The original design by Parisian jeweller Lucienne Lazon, inspired by a sketch by director Jean Cocteau, had the bevelled lower extremity of the stem forming a heart, and the pedestal a sculpture in terracotta by the artist Sébastien.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 1955, the first {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} was awarded to Delbert Mann for his film Marty.<ref name="Brief History" /> From 1964 to 1974, the festival temporarily resumed a Grand Prix.<ref name="Brief History" /> In 1975, the {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} was reintroduced and has since remained the festival's symbol, awarded each year to the director of the winning film, presented in a case of pure red Morocco leather lined with white suede.<ref name="Brief History" />

lang}} awarded to Apocalypse Now at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival

As of 2023, Jane Campion, Julia Ducournau, and Justine Triet are the only female directors to have won the {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (for The Piano, Titane, and Anatomy of a Fall, respectively). However, Bodil Ipsen won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film for The Red Meadows (along with Lau Lauritzen Jr.) as part of an 11-way tie at the inaugural 1946 festival.

Additionally, in 2013, when Blue Is the Warmest Color won the {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, the jury headed by Steven Spielberg awarded it to the film's actresses Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, as well as the director Abdellatif Kechiche.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> This remains the only instance where multiple {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} trophies were presented.<ref name="The Hollywood Reporter">Template:Cite news</ref> The jury decided to include the actresses in the recognition due to a Cannes policy that forbids the {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}-winning film from receiving any additional awards. This policy would have prevented the jury from acknowledging the actresses separately.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Regarding the unorthodox decision, Spielberg commented, "Had the casting been 3% wrong, [the film] wouldn't have worked like it did for us".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}(video unavailable)</ref> Subsequently, Kechiche auctioned off his {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} trophy to fund his new feature film. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he expressed dissatisfaction with the festival's decision to award multiple trophies, stating that he felt they had "publicly insulted" him. He added, "Liberating myself from this Palme d'Or is a way of washing my hands of this sorry affair".<ref name="The Hollywood Reporter" />

Since its reintroduction, the prize has been redesigned several times. At the beginning of the 1980s, the rounded shape of the pedestal, bearing the palm has gradually transformed to become pyramidal in 1984. In 1992, Thierry de Bourqueney redesigned the Palme and its pedestal in hand-cut crystal. In 1997, Caroline Scheufele redesigned the statuette; since then, it has been manufactured by the Swiss jewellery firm Chopard. The palm is made from Template:Convert of 18-carat yellow gold while the branch's base forms a small heart. The {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} rests on a dainty crystal cushion shaped like an emerald-cut diamond.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A single piece of cut crystal forms a cushion for the palm, which is hand-cast into a wax mould and now presented in a case of blue Morocco leather. In 1998, Theo Angelopoulos was the first director to win the {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} as it appears today, for his film Eternity and a Day.<ref name="Brief History" />

The presentation of the 2014 {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} to Winter Sleep, a Turkish film by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, occurred during the 100th anniversary year of Turkish cinema. On receiving the award, Ceylan dedicated it to the "young people" involved in Turkey's ongoing political unrest, and the workers killed in the Soma mine disaster, which occurred on the day before the commencement of the awards event.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2017, the award was redesigned to celebrate the festival's 70th anniversary. The diamonds were provided by an ethical supplier certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council.<ref name="Brief History" />

The 2020 Cannes Film Festival was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 56 films were announced as official selections by the festival, but no awards were presented for the first time since 1968.<ref name="LA Times">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Special Palme d'Or

During the 2018 closing ceremony, the jury awarded a "Special Palme d'Or" for the first time ever. Even though the award was not intended to be an Honorary Palme d'Or to Jean-Luc Godard, the move was made as an homage to his career, and as an award to the film itself as well.<ref name="Pond">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Cbignore</ref>
