The 65th annual Cannes Film Festival was held from May 16 to May 27, 2012. Below is a list of winners of “In Competition,” which means the films competing for the festival’s top prize, the Palme d'Or.
“Un Certain Regard” is the part of Cannes that runs parallel to the competition for the Palme d’Or. The “Grand Prix” is the second most prestigious prize given at Cannes, after the Palme d’Or.
With his win for Amour, Michael Haneke became the second director to win the Palme d’Or for consecutive films. Haneke previously won the Palme d’Or for his last film, The White Ribbon, in 2009. Bille August was the first to achieve this feat. No director has won the Palme d’Or more than twice.
