The Cannes Film Festival winners will be announced a day early on the Saturday of the festival due to the European Parliament elections being held across Europe over the weekend and in France on Sunday, May 25.

Because the winners will be announced sooner, the final competition film will screen on Friday. Along with this, the jury will put their heads together on Saturday in order to select the winners for each category, including the recipient of the Palme d’Or.

The Un Certain Regard winners will have to be announced early as well on Friday, May 23 along with the Cinefondation awards ceremony.

The victor of the Palme d’Or prize will be screened for the closer of the festival on that Sunday to conclude the festivities. The festival is from May 14-25 in Cannes, France.
