Wins in Cannes after director ban.



Kirsten Dunst won best actress in Cannes on Sunday for her role in "Melancholia," directed by Denmark's Lars Von Trier who was thrown out of the film festival for joking he was a Nazi and Hitler sympathiser.

The 55-year-old film maker, a winner of the top Palme d'Or award in 2000 for "Dancer in the Dark," has been banned from coming within 100 metres of the festival site where the awards ceremony brought a curtain down on the May 11-22 event.

The Palme d'Or was won by the American film The Tree of Life directed by Terrence Malick.[18] Two of the film's producers, Bill Pohlad and Sarah Green, accepted the prize on behalf of the reclusive Malick.[18][19] The Tree of Life is the first American film to win the Palme d'Or since Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004.[19] Head of the jury, Robert De Niro, said it was difficult to choose a winner, but The Tree of Life "ultimately fit the bill"

George Bush has fucked up so bad, he made it hard for a white man to run for president! People are like "give me a black man, a white woman, a giraffe, a zebra...anything but another white man! That last one fucked up my roof!"

Chris rock on Barack Obama.


Barack Obama! A black man! With a black name!

I know that ain't that black here, but in America that's about as black as a name could get.

Barack Obama! That's right next to Dikembe Mutombo.

That's right. Barack, man, he don't let his blackness sneak up on you. Y'know, if his name was Bob Jones or something, it might take you two or three weeks to realize he black. But as soon as you hear "Barack Obama"...you expect to see a brother with a spear! Just standin' on top of a dead lion!
