VENICE FILM FESTIVAL AWARD WINNERS LIST (UPDATING LIVE)

The Venice Film Festival draws to a close this evening with its glamorous awards gala, and though the feeling on the ground was that the 21-title-strong main competition was a touch off the pace of recent years, still the festival is looking pretty good for an 81-year-old. Especially one who has spent the past 11 days stewing in the scorching humidity of the Lido. 

Light on the kind of genuine, potentially crossover breakouts - like Yorgos Lanthimos' "Poor Things" last year  - that sound the starter's gun on the Oscars race in earnest, there was also some speculation about whether this year's jury would want to skew less American in terms of their Golden Lion top pick (five of the last seven of those have gone to a US production or co-production). But that, of course, was before US director Brady Corbet's "The Brutalist" emerged as the closest thing to a consensus critical pick that this edition has fielded. 

Here is where we will keep you updated live on the decisions of the main jury, headed up by Isabelle Huppert and comprising filmmakers James Gray, Andrew Haigh, Agnieszka Holland, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Abderrahmane Sissako, Giuseppe Tornatore and Julia von Heinz and actress Zhang Ziyi. And also we'll be revealing the winners in the Horizons sidebar section, where the jury of seven (president Debra Granik, Ali Asgari, Soudade Kaadan, Christos Nikou, Tuva Novotny, Gábor Reisz, Valia Santella) made their selections from among 19 features and the Horizons Short Film program.
