Belgian Film Wins Prestigious Palme d'Or

Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne's "The Child" won the Palme d'Or as best film at the 58th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night. It was the second time the Belgian brothers won the award, having received the top prize for "Rosetta" six years ago. The jury, led by filmmaker Emir Kusturica, writer Toni Morrison and actors Javier Bardem and Salma Hayek, gave the Grand Prix, the festival's second-highest award, to Jim Jarmusch's "Broken Flowers."

Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke won the prize for best director for "Cache" which stars Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteil.

American filmmaker Miranda July, director of "Me and You and Everyone We Know," shared the Camera d'Or for best first film with Vimukthi Jayasundara for "Sulanga Enu Pinisa" (The Forsaken Land).

Tommy Lee Jones's directorial debut "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" was among the prize winners, taking Best Actor honors (for his own performance) and the Best Screenplay Award.

Films by acclaimed directors David Cronenberg (End of Violence), Gus Van Sant (Last Days), Atom Egoyan (Where The Truth Lies), Lars Von Trier (Manderlay), and Wim Wenders (Don't Come Knocking) were all shut out of prize wins.
