CANNES – Officially wrapping up our Cannes coverage today, it’s time to really break down the Oscar prospects coming out of the 66th annual fest.

The biggest player would appear to be the Coen brothers’ Grand Prix-winning “Inside Llewyn Davis,” and certainly — as we’ve outlined — when Coen films have landed awards at Cannes, they’ve managed to find their way in the awards season. But what is there to be said of other contenders? Is Marion Cotillard willing to put in the work on the circuit again for “The Immigrant” just one year after missing the target with “Rust and Bone?” Is “Nebraska”‘s Best Picture goose cooked after lukewarm reaction? Can Robert Redford land his first acting nomination in 40 years for “All is Lost?”

Find out the answers to those questions and many more in the video above. More on the Oscar season when we reach the year’s mid-way point in a month’s time. And if you still crave some Cannes discussion, be sure to read through the cheat sheet on all of our coverage.
