The Venice International Film Festival has become its own pop-culture phenomenon. Brendan Fraser is back and better than ever, Don’t Worry Darling’s premiere came with tension and spitting allegations, and Ana de Armas met the icon @ArmasUpdates (and also revealed she may have been haunted by Marilyn Monroe.) It feels like every film’s PR team leaned into the most meme-able moments of the festival, making everyone almost forget that there are awards to be given out. Well, all the chaos must come to an end until the next big premiere will take over our timelines (cough, cough, Don’t Worry Darling). Below are all of the winners of this year’s Venice International Film Festival.
The winner’s list will be updated as the awards are presented.
