Brad Pitt's The Tree of Life Wins At Cannes , Kirsten Dunst Bags The Best Actress Award

Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life took home the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) for best film this year at Cannes Film Festival. The movie stars Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.

Dig this, the persona nan-grata of Cannes, director Lars Von Trier produced a best-actress with his film, Melancholia in the name of... drum-rolls... Kirstin Dunst!

Atleast, her nudity... reaped an award. Or maybe Hitler's spirit did something to make it happen? Ha?! LOL

What happened to Alessandra De Rossi's Busong?  Hmm, standing ovation - nothing more. :)
