Well, he won UCR in 2002, and has won Jury Prize and Golden Palm in competition. I can understand if jury wanted to award someone new. Except that Kiyoshi Kurosawa has also won a lot of prizes, and his latest films have been pretty horribly looking, so especially a directing award seems odd. An interesting sign.

Oh I'm not saying joe should have won anything. I've not seen the films, after all. I'm just noting the fact.

With regard to Carol my problemIs that I feel like I've already seen the film, will know exactly how it will pan out before I've even seen it. I mean I know this is daft but I say this as a huge Todd Haynes fan.

Both Hou and Jia has a Lion, but yeah. They're more than deserving of a Palm as well.

Especially since a lot of people are going for the 'lifetime achievement' angle considering apparently it's far from Audiard's best.
