The festival opened with Robin Hood by Ridley Scott,[6] and closed with The Tree by Julie Bertuccelli.[7] English actress Kristin Scott Thomas was the mistress of ceremonies.[8]

Agence France-Presse, Reuters, Associated Press and Getty TV boycotted the press conference that announced the line-up for the festival, due to a dispute over access to the red carpet.[9] In a press release, the agencies said that they "may be forced to suspend their presence at the festival altogether" if an agreement was not reached.[9] Days before the festival was to begin, concerns were expressed that attendees might be delayed, or would not attend, due to plane flights to surrounding areas in France being delayed or canceled due to volcanic ash in the sky.[10]

Two days before the beginning of the festival, the just finished film Route Irish by Ken Loach, was added to the main competition.[11]

The Palme d'Or was won by the Thai film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul.[25] It was the first time that an Asian movie won the award since 1997.[26] Tim Burton, chairman of the jury that determined the award, stated about its decision: "You always want to be surprised by films and this film did that for most of us."[27] French film Of Gods and Men was the runner up.[28] The Xavier Beauvois-directed film had been considered a favourite for the Palme d'Or along with Mike Leigh's Another Year.[29] During the ceremony special attention was paid to Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi in hopes of increasing international pressure on the Iranian government to release Panahi from jail.
