These are some photos from the closing ceremony – Kiki Dunst, The Gerard Butler-Hater, took home the festival’s “Best Actress” prize for Melancholia, the Lars Von Trier film. Kiki actually attended the closing ceremony, almost as if she had been tipped off that she was going to win something (note: I think the winners ARE actually notified ahead of time). Kiki threw on this Chanel Haute Couture gown. It reminds me of what she wore for the AmFAR gala last week – Kiki does love her frothy, tulle-heavy gowns. I’m kind of meh on the gown, but the shoes kind of ruin what could have been a solid look. Closed-toe black with that frothy Chanel? It doesn’t work. Here’s more about the winners:

As the 64th Cannes Film Festival came to a close Sunday, its jury awarded the top prize to a movie that split the critics: director Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.

Jury president Robert De Niro made the announcement, while the reclusive Malick was not in the French town to accept his Palme d’Or (Golden Palm).

Other winners Sunday evening included Kirsten Dunst as best actress for controversial director Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia. Earlier this week, the Danish filmmaker had been banned from the festival for rambling remarks he made at a press conference about how he sympathized with Hitler.

Dunst alluded to her director’s outburst during her acceptance speech Sunday, saying, “What a week this has been.”

French actor Jean Dujardin was named best actor for a popular silent, black-and-white comedy, The Artist – to be seen in the U.S. later this year. Best director was Nicolas Winding Refn, for Drive, which stars Ryan Gosling.

Other members of the Cannes jury included Jude Law and Uma Thurman.

Ryan Gosling was there to celebrate his director’s win. He and Refn are in the midst of some kind of homoerotic bromance, from the looks of it. I’ve never really had a homoerotic fantasy involving the Gosdong, but I may have to start. He’s just not like that for me – I look at photos of Daniel Craig or Javier Bardem, and I imagine them kissing, licking and biting each other. When I look at Gosling, all I see is a good-looking Canadian kid with no sexual dramz.

Also in the photos – Jean Dujardin, who is rather handsome, Robert DeNiro and Uma Thurman, who was WEARING THE HELL out of that blue gown.
