Among the prizes awarded in Cannes this weekend...a prize for the top canine in a Cannes film -- The Palm Dog. Reuters reports:

The winner, who appeared in Mongolian film "The Cave of the Yellow Dog," was not in Cannes to receive the award, but Wolfram Skowronnek Schaer, a German involved in selling the film, picked it up on its behalf. "I hope the dog is still alive," he said. "He is in Mongolia and we will do our best to bring this to him."

Harry, a small dog and president of the jury, posed for the paparazzi on the beach, digging the Palm Dog from the sand. "There were a lot of dogs at Cannes this year," said Derek Malcolm, another jury member. "I stepped on one on my way back to the hotel last night."
