Right now there's the Festival de Cannes, film festival, the biggest in Europe - May 16-27.
60 years this year!
the bestest in the world -beats LA NY and Toronto by miles!

by the way, they call it the Cannes Festival over here. But you havta say Cannes right. It's kinda said Caan, you have to say it exactly right. I think it has like a snort in the middle of it. I've never actually been there (only just learned how to say the name/word right). I've done the Toronto Film Festie many times though and the NY one once. London is fun.
I'm kidding ya. When i worked in movies in TO i was organising the window designs to match.
Daft.
No wonder I'm living in London
& I've never been to Cannes.
................I had a lover from there once though. He was lovely. French... He had long dark hair tied back with a black ribbon a la pirate and this was long before johnny depp in pirates of the carribean. He was a car importer. He came to London to buy vintage classic cars and then drove them home to his home in Cannes. I was invited but didn't go. I used to have the most amazing Rolls Royces and Jaguars and Aston Martins outside parked by my house.
He killed himself (in Cannes on Christmas Eve and took his mother with him. Driving.
So I never made it to Cannes. Back to the fuller picture: the film fest. You have to get there early and queue/line up, or else have the proper invite. I'm not going unless someone comes to get me in a motorised yacht. anyways, I've not even seen Paris yet.
We brits tend to avoid france. I've been to Spain lots and Greece and Egypt and I'm going to Italy next for a bit (I typed fit) of Fellini or something.
Who is nominated?
I don't even watch the Oscars anymore. I can't even remember who won.

which is why we ought keep up with the movies at Cannes and forget the ones who win at Hollywood.
