Palm Dog: ‘The Love That Remains', ‘Sirât', ‘Pillion' And ‘Amores Perros' Honored

Palm Dog: ‘The Love That Remains', ‘Sirât', ‘Pillion' And ‘Amores Perros' Honored

Yahoo24-05-2025
Before the Palme d'Or gets dished out and after power cuts took down the town's electricity for a day, Cannes was abuzz with the burning question: qui a gagné le Palm Dog? The answer came yesterday afternoon at a star-studded-collar event on the beach at The Members Club. In a woof-and-ready ceremony, jury member Peter Bradshaw noted that 25 films had come under consideration for this year's honors, pointing out that some were made by directors who hadn't even been born when the event first took place at the UK Pavilion back in 2000.
• The top prize — The Palm Dog itself — went to sheepdog Panda, for her part in a film directed by her owner: The Love That Remains, Hlynur Pálmason's tragicomic, gentle family saga.

• Mutt Moment — for the year's best scene-stealer — went to the British Un Certain Regard film Pillion for its long-haired Dachshund Hippo and Rottweiler Rosie.
• The Grand Jury prize went to the two dogs in Oliver Laxe's apocalyptic road movie Sirât.
• The inaugural Four-Legged Fellowship went to Alejandro González Iñárritu's Amores Perros, screening in Cannes Classics.
Pillion director Harry Lighton was unable to attend, but sent a message saying, 'I'd like to thank the jury for recognizing the nuance, complexity and raw sex appeal in Hippo's 'performance. I hesitate to use that word. Hippo doesn't perform, she inhabits, and while Harry and Alexander do solid work, it's Hippo who carries the film on her little legs… This award is for every small dog out there with big dreams.'
Sad news came from Sirât star Jade Oukid, who revealed that Pipa, the dog in the film, was actually her own, and had passed away after the shoot. However, director Laxe kindly added that, thanks to the power of cinema, Oukid's dog had become 'eternal'.
And in a move so new that disorganizer Toby Rose forgot to mention it on the Palm Dog press release, this year also saw the inauguration of a brand new award, The Four-Legged Fellowship. This went to the team behind Alejandro González Iñárritu's Amores Perros (2000), which, like the Palm Dog, celebrated a quarter of a century at the festival this year and is about to get a shiny new re-release courtesy of Mubi.
Iñárritu was a bit too tied up, shooting Tom Cruise in London, to attend, but producer Martha Sosa sent a message saying, 'We are truly honoured to receive this recognition from the Palm Dog Awards, for the beloved canine stars of Amores Perros, who are sadly no longer with us. This year marks a significant double celebration: the 25th anniversary of your awards and 25 years since the premiere of Amores Perros at Cannes. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Palm Dog Awards team from all of us.'

Anthony Mackie on Filming 'Avengers: Doomsday' in London: 'A Lot of Sheep...It's Crazy'

Anthony Mackie gave fans a much-anticipated update on the state of filming for the 2026 movie Avengers: Doomsday. However, it was his comments about London, where filming is taking place, that may have taken the cake. During an interview with ScreenRant, Mackie was asked where things stand with filming and if it was close to wrapping. Not surprisingly, the Captain America actor kicked things off there by letting fans know they aren't even close to the final stretch of filming. Anthony Mackie Gives 'Avengers: Doomsday' Update, Also Can't Believe London's 'Crazy' Amount of Sheep If you thought that an Avengers: Doomsday filming update would never land in the same conversation as London's apparent overload of sheep, think again. While Mackie responded to the question of whether the Marvel film is close to wrapping with a blunt, "Absolutely no, hell no" response, he expanded a bit from there. "We're in the midst of such a big moving set piece, and it's such a big story," Mackie said. "Shooting a Marvel movie, the best part is it's always an ever-evolving canvas. There are those staple pieces, then there are the pieces that kind of circulate throughout the course of the it's going well." Mackie then proceeded to dive into how things are in London, by first stating that "London is so that's a thing." The Marvel star quickly shifted to his surprise at finding out how many sheep London has, and his priceless reaction was my favorite part of the clip, personally. "A lot of sheep. Who knew there were so many sheep in London?!" Mackie said. "There's a lot of sheep...a lot of sheep. It's crazy." To Mackie's credit, it's fair to assume he's logging heavy hours on the set for Avengers: Doomsday, so maybe he's just taking time to enjoy the small things around London—like the sheep. Marvel Yet to Address Several Unanswered Questions About 'Avengers: Doomsday' There's no shortage of excitement around Marvel's latest addition to the Avengers series, but there are many unanswered questions fans hope to get answers to. When Marvel unveiled the cast of Avengers: Doomsday on a roughly 5-6 hour live stream, speculation began that the entire list of names wasn't released. That belief was proven correct later, but Marvel still hasn't confirmed the full, lengthy list of names that'll appear. Among the specific names referenced frequently is a star currently filming his own superhero movie—Tom Holland and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland's name wasn't listed on the initial cast release for Avengers: Doomsday, and little information has been provided by Marvel thus far. There's still plenty of time to speculate on names and possible superhero cameos in the new film, as Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on Dec. 18, Mackie on Filming 'Avengers: Doomsday' in London: 'A Lot of Crazy' first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 7, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword

‘Avengers' Star Anthony Mackie Seen Kissing 'Mystery Woman,' Fueling Girlfriend Speculation

While filming for the highly anticipated 2026 film Avengers: Doomsday rolls on in London, one of the film's biggest stars made some off-set news when spotted with a mystery woman on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Anthony Mackie, the new Captain America actor, made his debut in the role earlier in 2025 in the film Captain America: Brave New World. Although Mackie has teased small bits of Avengers: Doomsday, he appears to have used some downtime from filming to link up with a new potential interest. The photos/video that were released immediately sparked girlfriend rumors for the 46-year-old actor. Anthony Mackie Seen Getting Close With 'Mystery Woman' As seen in the photos above, Mackie was close with the new woman, who has yet to be identified. Shortly after the photos were released, a video surfaced that appeared to give a more detailed look at the pair. While little has been revealed about who the woman is, it's noteworthy as Mackie has largely kept his personal life private. Mackie was previously married in 2014 to longtime girlfriend and childhood sweetheart Sheletta Chapital, but the two divorced in 2018, so he's currently single. Anthony Mackie's Latest Updates on 'Avengers: Doomsday' Filming During a recent conversation with ScreenRant, Mackie gave an update on filming for Avengers: Doomsday. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, he revealed the movie is "absolutely" not close to wrapping up filming. "Absolutely no, hell no," Mackie replied when asked if filming was close to wrapping. "We're in the midst of such a big moving set piece, and it's such a big story," Mackie said. "Shooting a Marvel movie, the best part is it's always an ever-evolving canvas. There are those staple pieces, then there are the pieces that kind of circulate throughout the course of the it's going well." After initially setting a release date of May 1, 2026, Marvel moved the release date of Avengers: Doomsday back to Dec. 18, 2026. This will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars, which was also pushed back, and will now be released on Dec. 7, 2027, after being initially scheduled for May 7, 2027.'Avengers' Star Anthony Mackie Seen Kissing 'Mystery Woman,' Fueling Girlfriend Speculation first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 14, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
