French stars Omar Sy, Eva Green join 2024 Cannes Film Festival jury
French screen stars Omar Sy and Eva Green will be part of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival next month, organisers announced on Monday.
Also joining them is Oscar-nominated actor Lily Gladstone, who won a string of awards for her performance in Martin Scorsese's 2023 "Killers of the Flower Moon". At 37 years old, she will be the youngest member of the jury.
They will join a jury led by "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig at this year's festival on France's Cote d'Azur, which runs from May 14 to 25.
The jury is tasked with selecting the winner of the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, from a selection of 22 films that include the return of Francis Ford Coppola with his long-awaited epic, "Megalopolis".
A biopic of Donald Trump, "The Apprentice", by Iran-born director Ali Abbasi, is also in the running.
Sy is one of the biggest names in French cinema, known internationally for hit Netflix show "Lupin".
Oliver Stone will present his latest documentary, "Lula", about the current president of Brazil, out of competition.
