The winner for the main prize was Benoît Jacquot for Les Adieux à la reine (Farewell, My Queen), which stars an impressive cast of actresses including Diane Kruger, Léa Seydoux, Julie-Marie Parmentier and Virginie Ledoyen. The adaptation of the prize-winning Chantal Thomas novel about the final days of the court of Marie Antoinette overcame some stiff competition from titles such as Amour by Michael Haneke, De rouille et d'os (Rust and Bone) by Jacques Audiard, and Holy Motors by Leos Carax.
The award for Best First Film went to Cyril Mennegun's Louise Wimmer. It is a documentary-style depiction of a middle-aged woman who falls on hard times.
Last year's winner for the Prix Louis-Delluc was Le Havre by Aki Kaurismäki.
