Joaquin Phoenix in talks to play Joker in standalone film

Here are the winners from the 2017 Cannes film festival, as chosen Sunday by a star-studded jury led by Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.&nbsp;

Palme d&#39;Or: &#39;The Square&#39;&nbsp;

Swedish film &quot;The Square&quot;, a dark satire of the contemporary art world, was the surprise winner of the top Palme d&#39;Or prize at the world&#39;s biggest film festival.&nbsp;

The film, a savagely funny takedown of political correctness and the things we choose to hang in art galleries, had premiered to strong reviews -- but even director Ruben Ostlund was shocked as he picked up the award, shouting, &quot;Oh my God, oh my God!&quot;

Grand Prix: &#39;120 Beats Per Minute&#39;

&quot;120 Beats Per Minute&quot;, a moving drama set in Paris at the height of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1990s, scooped second prize for its wrenching portrayal of a romance between two activists in the advocacy group ACT UP.

The film was a deeply personal project for director Robin Campillo, who was himself an activist in the French branch of the group that helped shame the world into action.

Jury Prize:&nbsp;&#39;Loveless&#39;&nbsp;

&quot;Loveless&quot;, a bleak tale of a middle-class couple in Moscow looking to offload their child as they go through a bitter divorce, came in third.

The film by Kremlin critic Andrei Zvyagintsev offers a stinging critique of modern Russian society, depicting a country obsessed with consumerism and its smartphones.

Best actor: Joaquin Phoenix&nbsp;

Triple Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix won best actor for playing a traumatised hitman in Lynne Ramsay&#39;s ultra-violent &quot;You Were Never Really Here&quot;.

He gives an electrifying performance as Joe, a former soldier who is hired by a New York state senator to rescue his daughter from a paedophile ring.

Best actress: Diane Kruger

In her first film role in her native German, Hollywood star and former model Diane Kruger swapped her usually glamorous image to play a mother who vows revenge after her ethnic Kurdish husband and son are killed in a neo-Nazi attack.

Hailed as a &quot;powerhouse performance&quot; by Variety magazine, Kruger said the role had taken a huge emotional toll. &quot;The film almost killed me,&quot; she said at Cannes. &quot;I haven&#39;t worked since.&quot;

Best director: Sofia Coppola&nbsp;

Sofia Coppola picked up best director for her remake of the American Civil War thriller &quot;The Beguiled&quot;, starring Colin Farrell as a soldier who bewitches several Southern women including Nicole Kidman.

Collecting her award, the &quot;Bling Ring&quot; director thanked her father -- &quot;Apocalypse Now&quot; director Francis Ford Coppola -- for teaching her the tricks of the trade.

Best screenplay:&nbsp;Lynne Ramsay and Yorgos Lanthimos

The nine-member jury opted to split the screenplay prize in two, dividing it between Scottish director Lynne Ramsay for &quot;You Were Never Really Here&quot; and Greece&#39;s Yorgos Lanthimos for &quot;The Killing of a Sacred Deer&quot;, a chilling suburban thriller starring Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman.

Special prize: &#39;Nicole Kidman&#39;

Nicole Kidman was the undisputed queen of this year&#39;s Cannes with four projects showing. To mark its 70th birthday, the festival rewarded her with a special prize.
