There are no glaringly unjust films passed over at Cannes 2004. Other outstanding titles were recognized as follows:
And very appropriately, Prix de la Jeunesse (which went to HOL MOTOERS this year): Kontroll, (Hongrie), Nimród Antal (UCR).[Palme d'Or: Fahrenheit 9/11, by Michael Moore]
Grand Prix: Oldboy, by Park Chan-wook
Best Actress Award: Maggie Cheung in Clean
Best Actor Award: Yûya Yagira in Nobody Knows
Best Director Award: Exils, by Tony Gatlif
Best Screenplay Award: Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri for Look at Me
Prix du Jury: Tropical Malady, by Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Prix Un Certain Regard: Moolaadé by Ousmane Sembène
I guess if you study the history of Cannes, you might find some evidence of skewing due to jury presidents for certain years or even glaring passovers due to the whole jury. But it's not like the Academy Awards system, with a big voting body packed with oldsters.
