Fresh off the Academy Awards, Spielberg and Lee compared the Oscars with Cannes
-- the two most elite platforms for movies. Lee called Cannes "more high-brow" and "more auteur-oriented," while the Academy Awards, he said, can be more of a popularity contest about "how the wind blows." The international jury also includes Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, Japanese director Naomi Kawase, French actor Daniel Auteuil and Bollywood star Vidya Balan. Over the next 12 days, the group will screen the in-competition films at Cannes and deliberate on their favorite. Spielberg also expressed preference for the Cannes process, lamenting the months-long Oscar race that he compared to "a political cycle." "There's no campaigning here," Spielberg said, "and that is a breath of fresh air for me."
