Cannes 2014 has selected its winners from a jury headed by Jane Campion.  In the end it was longtime Palme D'Or bridesmaid Ceylan that won the big prize, while the rest of the field was an eclectic assortment of newbies (Dolan), legends (Godard) and Oscar hopefuls (Miller, Spall.)  Oh, and wait...the great Julianne Moore won Best Actress for playing a has-been actress in David Croenberg's gonzo Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars!!!!!!!!!!!  As an aside, Moore, while never an Oscar winner despite four nominations and two absolute deserved wins, joins an elite club that  Juliette Binoche (also in Cannes this year with Clouds of Sils Maria), Sean Penn, Isabelle Huppert and Jack Lemmon are the only members of-- the Triple Crown winners of the festival circuit, winning Cannes, Venice and Berlin.  Moore won Venice for Far From Heaven and shared the Berlin actress prize with The Hours co-stars Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman.
