I'm shocked that David Gordon Green won the Best Director prize. I hope this new film of his is a redeemer after the debacles that were Your Highness and The Sitter.
Same here, total surprise. Too bad they didn't have a post-awards jury press conference like they had in Cannes last year. I'd love to hear the reasons for that selection.
