Eight films from the Cannes Official Selection made this year’s Oscars shortlist. Those films spanned 17 categories and totalled a record 31 nominations. The nine total wins is at least a recent record, the festival has confirmed to us, and may even be an all-time record. We’ll need more time to dig through that one.

While this year’s Oscars marked a victory for U.S. independent moviemaking with Sean Baker’s “Anora” nabbing four major awards, including best picture, it’s also a big win for the French Riviera-set Cannes Film Festival.

That 3.9 earthquake that hit Southern California just as all the celebrating was in full swing proved Anora’s sweeping five victories at the 97th Annual Academy Awards could literally shake things up in Hollywood.
