Having conquered Sundance (or at least gotten an earful from the critics), director Derek Cianfrance, Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling have now descended on the Cannes Film Festival with their film Blue Valentine — screened in Un Certain Regard. Hey, wait a minute — hasn’t Movieline covered this film before? Like, viciously?

Forget the VFX controversy — it’s time to parse the Oscar candidates among this year’s Cannes standout! Or so says Pete Hammond, who shares our Man in Cannes’ impressions that Another Year ‘s Lesley Manville and Biutiful ‘s Javier Bardem are virtual nomination locks. (Or is that just the films’ prospective buyer Harvey Weinstein working his LAT magic again?) Also: Carey Mulligan may have a Supporting Actress shot for Wall Street 2 . Here’s hoping — and for a little more effort on her behalf, if so. [ LAT ]

Though early in the festival, Mike Leigh’s touching drama Another Year , looks poised to grab an award after it received the most positive reviews so far from any film in competition. It’s his best work since 1996’s Secrets and Lies .

Enough with the desperate starlets trying to make a name for themselves on the Croisette in skimpy bathing suits — chickens, really. The sexiest breakout star on the Riviera this year is a 101-year-old Portuguese man. Film-snob circles have deified Manoel de Oliveira for years, since he was an nonagenarian at least. For all you Hollywood power types looking to sign the next big thing, here’s your cheat sheet on who is arguably the biggest story of Cannes thus far.

Screening out of competition, Woody Allen’s latest film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger added some welcome levity amid the festival’s myriad screenings involving murder, hostage standoffs, self-immolation and suicide.

After the self-indulgent and ludicrous Robin Hood , which screened out of competition, the real festival competition began with a healthy dose of zaftig T&A. Although the press gave actor/director Mathieu Amalric’s English/French-language burlesque film Tourn

The Cannes Film Festival officially opened today with the 10 a.m. press screening of Ridley Scott’s nearly two-and-half-hour epic Robin Hood . The film, a sort of Robin Hood Begins , attempts to retell the familiar story of how Robin Hood (a chiseled Russell Crowe) and his Maid Marian (Cate Blanchett) became the archenemies of the pusillanimous and pugnacious British King John.

What do a kufi hat-wearing James Cromwell, Jeffrey Wells and thousands of Heineken bottles have in common? They were all present at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival Awards Wrap Party last night. And while the name of the event was a bit misleading — the main Tribeca awards were announced Thursday — there was one piece of hardware handed out: the Heineken sponsored audience award, which went to the rock documentary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage . Because if there’s one thing everyone knows about New Yorkers, it’s their fierce love of prog rock. After the jump, the top-ten audiences choices — congrats to all the winners.

My first full day of Tribeca Film Festival duty really came down to the what’s already the hottest-ticket item of the entire week ahead: Untitled Eliot Spitzer Film , director Alex Gibney’s work-in-progress documentary about the career and eventual disgrace of the former New York governor. Being unfinished, reviewers are forbidden from writing especially in-depth about it. But here’s one nugget: It’s not untitled at all, even though to hear Gibney tell it in his introduction to a packed house, the working title Client-9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer may yet lose out to that more abstract, curious namelessless in the festival program.
