Calgary Herald - Cannes Jury Defends Palme d'Or and the Prize They Didn't Award

Says Tarantino:

"'A movie doesn't have to be about pretty pictures. A film can be funny and that's all it ever has to be. A film can be insightful and that's all it ever has to be. A film can be profound, and that's all it ever has to be. It can make me cry, it can make me laugh, it can disturb me, it can elate me.

'This movie did all of those. Pretty pictures be damned.'"

But the best part from this article is the prize that was almost awarded:

"The jury that awarded the top prize at Cannes to Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 also considered awarding a special prize to U.S. President George W. Bush for best comic performance in a movie."
