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.

Just now Cannes has added two more - one film each to Un Certain Regard and Out of Competition sections - by "imprisoned" (thankfully symbolically speaking) Iranian filmmakers Mohammad Rasoulof and Jafar Panahi. The oppressed nature in which these films were made can be detected right from their titles: Panahi's film is titled This is Not a Film (In Film Nist), while Rasoulof's has the cryptic title Goodbye (Be Omid-e Didar), though I'm told this could also translate to the more hopeful "See You Soon."

WKW is definitely not ready. Pedro isn't feeling the pressure to deliver and according to Screen Daily, Terence Davies, Andrea Arnold and Philippe Garrel would apparently still be stuck in post and would be tipped for a Fall premiere.
