It’s a good day to be an American in Venice.
Tom Ford‘s “Nocturnal Animals” took the grand jury prize at the 73rd annual film festival, with Emma Stone also landing Best Actress Silver Cup for her turn in “La La Land.”
The top prize, Venice’s Golden Lion for Best Film, however, went to “The Woman Who Left” (Ang Babying Humayo), from Filipino director Lav Diaz.
The “La La Land” trophy for Stone is a welcome cherry on the top of the past few weeks. Glowing reviews aside, Tom Hanks interrupted his own “Sully” press conference in Telluride to praise the original musical from director Damien Chazelle.
