May 22, 2004 at 10:57 PM Michael Moore film takes Cannes' top prize Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," a scathing indictment of White House actions after the Sept. 11 attacks, won the top prize Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival. "Fahrenheit 9/11" was the first documentary to win Cannes' prestigious Palme d'Or since Jacques Cousteau's "The Silent World" in 1956. "What have you done? I'm completely overwhelmed by this. Merci," Moore said after getting a standing ovation from the Cannes crowd. The grand prize, the festival's second-place honor, went to South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook's "Old Boy," a blood-soaked thriller about a man out for revenge after years of inexplicable imprisonment. The best-actress award went to Maggie Cheung for her role in "Clean" as a junkie trying to straighten out her life. Fourteen-year-old Yagira Yuuya was named best actor for the Japanese film "Nobody Knows." The directing and writing prizes went to French filmmakers. Tony Gatlif won the directing honor for "Exiles," his road-trip about a couple on a sensual journey from France to Algeria. "Fahrenheit 9/11" made waves in the weeks leading up to Cannes after the Walt Disney Co. refused to let subsidiary Miramax release the film in the United States because of its political content. Jenna skips ceremony President Bush wasn't the only one who skipped the pomp and circumstance of his daughter's graduation from the University of Texas on Saturday. Jenna Bush wasn't there, either. Her name was listed on the program, but she was not among the more than 150 English majors receiving degrees at the Austin campus. Attendance is not required to graduate. Aides have said the president and First Lady Laura Bush decided to skip their twin daughters' graduations because their presence would be disruptive. startribune.com
