The Cannes Film Festival is seriously heating up this year!

As if sexy movie stars arriving to red carpet premieres in designer duds off of a yacht wasn't drool-worthy enough, the predicted nominees this year read like the Most Beautiful People list to end all lists.

The Cannes Film Fest nominees will officially be announced Thursday, but here is who we think will be in attendance...

And it's all about the sexy couples this year!

Hollywood's reigning king and queen, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, will be in full force, there to see a sneak peek of Kung Fu Panda 2, featuring Angie's voice and also to attend Brad's Tree of Life premiere.

Tree of Life, directed by Terence Malick, also stars Sean Penn, who (fingers crossed) will be making his red carpet debut with Scarlett Johansson. Hopefully, the new couple will be looking much more glam than they did during their recent outing in Malibu.

New parents Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem will most likely leave little Leo at home so that mama P can strut her postbaby bod down the red carpet for the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Penélope's costar, Johnny Depp, aka Captain Jack Sparrow, will be in attendance (probably sporting some long locks, killer shades and dapper duds) with his French baby mama, Vanessa Paradis.

France's first lady, Carla Bruni, makes her acting debut in the festival's previously announced Opening Selection, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, alongside Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Adrien Brody, Michael Sheen, Kathy Bates and a very preggers Marion Cotillard.

So which debatably not-as-sexy star should the rest of these A-listers be sucking up to?

Robert De Niro, who is the head of the jury that hands out prizes. "Bobby, buddy old pal?"

The Cannes Film Fest will take place May 11-22.

This is one time we definitely wish we could trade lives with De Niro.
