Venice. Lions.

"Ang Lee's Lust, Caution won the Golden Lion as the 64th Venice Film Festival came to a close tonight in Italy, the second time the director has won the prize in the last three years (he won in 2005 for Brokeback Mountain)," reports Eugene Hernandez. "The festival's Silver Lion for Best Director went to Brian De Palma for Redacted, while a special jury prize went to Todd Haynes's I'm Not There and Abdellatif Kechiche's La Graine et le mulet. Acting prizes were presented to Cate Blanchett for her role in Haynes's I'm Not There, while Brad Pitt was honored as best actor in Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."

Eugene's got the full list at indieWIRE.
