D-4 before the opening of the 77th edition of the Cannes film festival on the Croisette. An edition which will have, rare thing, as a taste of femininity : even if the list of nominees has once again been criticized for its lack of big female names, women will still be in the spotlight during the fortnight. First of all thanks to the mistress of ceremonies who will officiate on Tuesday evening, Camille Cottin. As for the guests, the Festival management revealed that the large Meryl Streep will receive an honorary Palme d’Or for his entire very rich career. An award that she can proudly place alongside her three Oscars for best actress. Last woman and not least, the director of the recent box office hit Barbie, Greta Gerwig, will chair the jury for this 77th edition. A jury which will also be able to count on the personality of a Omar Sy to brighten up this fortnight.
“Judging is a word that I don’t really like”
The 46-year-old actor was indeed named alongside Eva Green and Lily Gladstone to judge the films in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. A great recognition for the one who is currently in full promotion of the book “Come on, let’s talk” co-written with journalist Elsa Vigoureux. Hélène Sy’s husband gave an interview this Wednesday to Léna Situations for her podcast Four Seater Sofa on Spotify. After revealing this astonishing habit which has the gift of making his family uncomfortable when going out in public, Omar Sy spoke of this nomination within the jury, always with relaxation: “It’s great, I’m going to see films, three a day, I’m going to be pampered, I’m going to talk about cinema with cinema greats, I’m very happy” he explains before the influencer asks him what kind of judge he thinks he is. “So precisely I am a very bad judge because I am not a judge, I have a hard time judgingbut it will be interesting to discuss films, to talk about our feelings, but judging is a word that I don’t really like” he added. However, it will be necessary to judge carefully before the prestigious Palmes du cinéma are awarded to other stars, he who has already been awarded a César for best actor and two Crystal Globes.
