Yesterday, May 22nd, marked the end of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. Awww. I feel like the 2011 Cannes Film Festival just started! Can’t we have just one more day of 2011 Cannes Film Festival? If we can’t have just one more day of 2011 Cannes Film Festival I am NOT getting out of bed or eating anything or even BREATHING. I want more of it!!!!
The thing about the 2011 Cannes Film Festival was Kirsten Dunst, I feel like. It seems like the way that Kirsten Dunst sat next to Lars Von Trier and reacted was really the only thing that seeped from the cares-about-cannes-film-festival online magazines of the world into the mainstream cares-about-nothing google readers of the world. Meaning, like, I don’t know a lot of other things that went on there. People won awards? People definitely won awards at the end of the festival. People like Kirsten Dunst, who won Best Actress. Good job, Kirsten Dunst!
But yeah, lots of movies that I’m sure are great or at least nice to look at won awards at the end, and lots of celebrities that I’m sure are great or at least nice to look at got to live their celebrity lifestyles in Cannes for a week and a half. And everyone got to see lots of movies the whole time. And Robert De Niro was President of the Jury. “Cool.”
Full list of festival winners that you don’t care about after the jump. Also, a beautiful (very beautiful) photo gallery featuring many of our old pals!

Now it makes sense why she asked for 101 Dalmatian puppies on her tour rider.
We’re not pretending that we considered a Kirsten Dunst a real actress before and not just someone who was surprisingly fine in Eternal Sunshine right?
I don’t know how I feel about Kirsten Dunst. I’ve always found+ her kind of difficult to look at, but she doesn’t actually BOTHER me. So it’s a tough call. She’s definitely not someone who would make me get off the couch and go to a movie, but she’s not enough to specifically prevent me from going. Charlotte Gainsbourg, on the other hand, while being an equally wooden and weird-looking performer, is so charming that she is a draw.
I agree she’s not a deal breaker like Renée Zellweger
She was in Bring it On! I really liked her! Until this:
Whatevs. She’s got her swag.

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.
Amber: My mom never hid the fact that my dad chose his career over us. What was it she always said?
Loretta: Once a carnie, always a carnie.
Amber: Mom still cries every time she sees a tilt-a-whirl or a fat lady in a tube top.
Love that movie.
Wait, is it really pronounced “Cannes”? I’ve been pronouncing it “Cannes”.
I’ve been pronouncing it Bee York
“ö before j, except after B”
Look, if you sit next to Lars Van Trier, he’s going to make socially inappropriate comments. How do you nazi that coming?
It’s Lars’ fault. Everytime I think he’s going to go left, he goes Reich.
Agreed. Sometimes, everyone needs to step back and SS the situation to make an informed decision abotu where to sit.
Anyone one else excited for Tree of Life? Terrance Malick = The Best.
Correction: Terrance Malick + dinosaurs(?!) = The Best
Terrance Malick is a dinosaur, that’s why he’s so private
I pee my pants daily over it. My girlfriend is sick of it.
Uh oh. I know someone who’s gonna be jealous.
I’m really glad that all these rich, famous people had such a fun time in France!
Denim on denim crime:
Breaks my friggin heart.
I don’t know- you should also probably arrest his face for possessing illegal quantities of smug
At least he did the Canadian Tuexedo justice by wearing matching washes. I saw one recently with two different washes and it was such an insult to our northern neighbors.
Thisismynightmare, watch any clips you can of DRIVE, with Ryan Gosling as a dreamy, nameless getaway/stunt driver.
