Eight films in total are vying for the prize this year. The nominees include the full five-and-a-half hour version of Carlos about the mercenary familiar to some as "The Jackal." Des hommes et des dieux (Of Gods and Men) previously won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and is France's official submission to the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. Although Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer is in English, he is a French citizen and the film is French-made. Mystères de Lisbonne (Mysteries of Lisbon) is mostly Portuguese and directed by Chilean-born filmmaker Raoul Ruiz.
Since 2000, an additional award has been given for best first film, the Prix Louis-Delluc du premier film. Six films are in contention for this award, including the biopic Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque) (Gainsbourg: a Heroic Life).
The awards are decided by a jury of twenty film critics and arts professionals led by Cannes Film Festival president Gilles Jacob. The winners will be announced on December 17, 2010 in Paris.
