The Cannes Film Festival is the most prestigious in the world, and the Palme d'Or is its highest honor. From Deadline:

There are a whopping 10 English-language movies in Competition (The Apprentice, Bird, Emilia Perez, Megalopolis, The Shrouds, The Substance, Kinds of Kindness, Limonov, Anora and Oh Canada). That’s more than half the Competition. By our initial count this is a record, but we’re still digging in on that. The festival has yet to confirm. This is easily the most in the past decade. In 2018 there were only two English-language films in Competition. Last year also saw a spike with seven English-language movies in Competition. That in itself is a rare number.

This market resolves YES if the winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival is an English-language film.

I will follow Deadline's (current) definition of "English-language". That is, exactly the following ten movies are eligible:

  • Kinds of Kindness - Yorgos Lanthimos

  • Megalopolis - Francis Ford Coppola

  • The Apprentice - Ali Abbasi

  • Oh Canada - Paul Schrader

  • The Shrouds - David Cronenberg

  • Anora - Sean Baker

  • Bird - Andrea Arnold

  • Emilia Perez - Jacques Audiard

  • The Substance - Coralie Fargeat

  • Limonov - Kirill Serebrennikov
