Coen brothers to jointly head Cannes jury

The Coen brothers, the Oscar-winning directors of No Country for Old Men, Fargo and The Big Lebowski, are to head this year's Cannes Film Festival jury. Joel and Ethan Coen will act as co-presidents of the panel of film-makers and actors who will judge the contenders in the main competition.

The US siblings, who are 60 and 57 respectively, won the festival's Palme d'Or prize for Barton Fink in 1991.

That's cool.
Most of these things are dog an pony shows but Cannes seems to at least have the facade of integrity.
They don't go with the politically correct winner all the time like the Oscars.
The only time they have won is 1991 for Barton Fink.
Surprising actually.
