New Zealand Oscar-winning filmmaker Sir Peter Jackson will be awarded the Palm d'Or at the opening of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Best known for creating the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Jackson said the honour was "one of the greatest privileges of my career".
The French film festival organisers said the award recognised “a body of work that blends Hollywood blockbusters and films d’auteur with extraordinary artistic vision and technological audacity".

Congrats, PJ!

Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Ataahua :) Jackson truly is a pioneer in film purely for the love of going to another place in his (and our) imagination.
"The Festival welcomes and thanks a filmmaker of boundless creativity who has brought prestige to the heroic fantasy genre". Cannes president Iris Knobloch
We have been there and back again.
