30 Predictions for Cannes 2012

In give or take 364 days from now, the 65th edition of the Cannes film festival will be upon us. I know it's absurd, but there are some bonafide films in the works from some Cannes vets and according to these prognostications I supply below, we'll have one more heavyweight event with the possible participation from the likes of Abbas Kiarostami, Olivier Assayas, Paul Thomas Anderson and Hou Hsiao Hsien being joined by recent Palme d'Or winners (2008 and 2009) Laurent Cantet and Michael Haneke.

2011 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Tree of Life and Le Havre Tied for Palme D’Or Predictions

With 14 of 16 members in our 2011 Critics' Panel voting, we naturally had to come to a gridlock. We have a two way tie with four votes apiece for The Tree of Life and Le Havre winning the Palme D'Or and in second place we have Pedro with three votes apiece for The Skin I Live In. We have one vote for The Artist, one for The Kid With a Bike and one person voted for Drive -- which must have crazy Vegas odds. I asked our 2011 panel to submit their winner predictions for the top three prizes and if they wanted to add anything further then we'd mention them as well.
