Cannes Film Festival LIVE: The stars will climb the steps… The ceremony begins at 7 p.m….

6:12 p.m .: Still no stars in sight, but it won’t be long

The stars are still waiting. Normal, they are always the longest to prepare. On the French side, we are sure to see the team of Coupez, the film by Michel Hazanavicius, which opens the festival: Romain Duris, Bérénice Béjo, Grégory Gadebois, Jean-Pascal Zadi… And on the side of the Hollywood stars, we expect Forest Whitaker, who will receive a palme d’honneur. But not Tom Cruise, who doesn’t arrive until tomorrow. Nor Virginie Efira, who is already in the room and who is rehearsing her speech after having held the festival’s social networks all day.

A DAY WITH VIRGINIE EFIRA! THE TAKE OVER EVENT is on! This May 17, the actress is hosting the Festival’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in stories until her arrival on stage to present the Opening Ceremony of the 75th Cannes Film Festival! #Cannes2022 pic.twitter.com/SbWBYXKyuD

Another certainty, as required by protocol, is the jury of Vincent Lindon who will close the march before the start of the ceremony.
