Greek Is Golden at Cannes '98
French actress Isabelle Huppert presided over the ceremonies, and jury president Martin Scorsese read off the winners, but in a ceremony that included appearances by Tim Roth, Andie MacDowell, Jennifer Lopez, Jean Reno, Robert Duvall and Janet Leigh, the best moments were unscripted.
The highlight was Italian comedian/director Roberto Benigni, who threw himself at the feet of Scorsese and proceded to kiss every member of the jury as the crowd cheered uproariously after his touching World War II comedy-drama La Vita e Bella ("Life Is Beautiful") was named the Grand Prix winner, essentially a second-place award.
Earlier, an unwitting Scorsese was caught by a TV camera expressing a look of shock and mild disgust when Peter Mullan of My Name Is Joe came onstage to accept his Best Actor award in a kilt with a white jacket and tie.
Other awards were spread among a host of films that had played well all week. Hal Hartley won Best Screenplay for his Henry Fool, which has what may be the funniest toilet scene in the history of cinema. John Boorman, whose The General heralded his artistic comeback, was named Best Director. And Todd Haynes was awarded a special prize for Best Artistic Contribution for his edgy glam-rock drama, Velvet Goldmine.
Also notable was Marc Levin winning the Camera d'Or, given to the best first-time director. His Slam had been named winner of the Director's Fortnight yesterday and also won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance this year.

Palme d'Or Eternity and a Day
