 Canne's coveted canine award, the Palm dog, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with limited edition T-shirts featuring dog lover Charlotte Rampling.
This year's ceremony took place on Friday 21 May at 1pm in the UK Film Centre, where Boss the boxer in Tamara Drewe by Stephen Frears (Official Selection - Hors Competition) received the coveted collar - Palm Dog winner 2010.
A Special Jury Award was given to Vuk, the goatherd's dog in Le Quattro Volte by Michelangelo Frammartino (Directors Fortnight).
Created by British journalist Toby Rose in 2001 in honour of his own dog Mutley, the Palm Dog rewards "the best canine performance across all the sections of the festival."
Organiser Toby Rose said in Cannes today "The Palm Dog can look back with pride on a dazzling decade of dogs on the big screen. This year has shown itself to be vintage as canines came through in fine style. Hurrah for the hounds".
