What happened

Demi Moore, Chloé Zhao, Stellan Skarsgård among Cannes Film Festival jurors Demi Moore, Chloé Zhao and Stellan Skarsgard are among the jurors who will decide the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, organisers announced Monday.

Why it matters

American actor Demi Moore, buoyed by the late‑career resurgence sparked by her Oscar‑nominated role in "The Substance", will join the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, which begins next week.

Common ground

Just about a week before the 79th Cannes begins May 12, organisers unveiled the nine-member jury that will deliberate on the films in competition at the annual French Riviera festival.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.

Claim 3: “Last year, “Sentimental Value”, with Skarsgard, launched at Cannes”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states 'Sentimental Value' launched at Cannes 'Last year' (relative to the 2026 festival, implying 2025). However, Wikipedia and IMDb list it as a 2025 film, and BBC reports on its world premiere buzz, but the claim's phrasing 'Last year' in a 2026 context is technically consistent with a 2025 release, but the evidence does not confirm it premiered in 2023 as the normalized claim suggests.
