The 77th Cannes Film Festival unintentionally paid homage to women by having director Greta Gerwig, known for the groundbreaking film "Barbie," lead the jury. The opening day, May 14th, saw Hollywood star Meryl Streep receive the prestigious Palme d'Or award for changing the perception of women in the industry. While the festival celebrated these achievements, protests advocating for better pay and working conditions for behind-the-scenes staff took place peacefully. Stars such as Demi Moore, Emma Stone, Eva Green, and Eva Longoria graced the red carpet, adding a touch of glamour to the event, which has become as much of a fashion show as a film festival.
