The Cannes Film festival has given out the awards at its closing ceremony at the Theatre Lumiere. Some inevitable winners were joined by some surprises: perhaps the biggest was French auteur Jacques Audiard winning the Palme d'Or for "Dheepan," his timely, intuitive, brilliant and empathetic portrait of Tamil Emigres in France. Audiard brought his two first-time actors, Antonythasan Jesuthasan and Kalieaswari Srinivasan, up to the stage.
