Cannes: Jury decisions made after "rigorous and vigorous" debate The nine-member Cannes jury, chaired by "Mad Max" director George Miller, awarded the Palme d'Or top prize at Cannes Sunday to British director Ken Loach, who beat runaway favourites including the rapturously received German comedy "Toni Erdmann" by Maren Ade, one of three female directors in competition, and US indie legend Jim Jarmusch's "Paterson" starring Adam Driver as a poetry-writing bus driver.
