Venice Film Festival Awards Winners Announced – Follow Live
deadline.comRefresh for latest…: The 80th Venice Film Festival officially draws to a close this evening with the main awards, including the top prize Golden Lion, soon to be handed out inside the Sala Grande.
It’s been a heady 10 days since filmmakers, and a fair bit of talent, from around the world began descending on the Lido. Still, the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes were never far from top of mind; the event was even bookended by jury president Damien Chazelle sporting a ‘Writers Guild On Strike’ t-shirt on opening day and Jessica Chastain wearing a ‘SAG-AFTRA On Strike’ tee yesterday.
The movies for the most part have delighted. Competition films receiving strong notices included Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things (which got a rousing 10+ minute ovation during the world premiere), Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border, Matteo Garrone’s Io Capitano, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Evil Does Not Exist, David Fincher’s The Killer, Nicolaj Arcel’s The Promised Land and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro.

We’ll find out soon how Chazelle’s panel voted and will be following the closing ceremony and updating winners live below.
