The line-up for the 2015 Cannes Film Festival was announced today at a press conference in Paris, and as year’s past, the annual event will draw a number of A-list stars.
Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron and Emma Stone are among the celebs expected to this year’s competition, which will run from May 13-24 in the beautiful French Riviera. The impressive line-up wasn’t the only surprising news to come out of the ceremony–festival director Thierry Frémaux asked that selfies be curtailed on the carpet. He said, “We don’t want to prohibit it, but we want to slow down the process of selfies on the steps.” He said. “We think it’s ridiculous and grotesque and really slows things down.”
