This year, the 68th annual Cannes Film Festival in France will have co-presidents. The Coen Brothers, Joel and Ethan were chosen to serve at the 2015 fest.

The Coens released a statement. “We look forward to returning to Cannes this year. We welcome as always the opportunity to watch movies there from all over the world. Cannes is a festival that has been important to us since the very beginning of our career. Presiding over the Jury is a special honor, since we have never heretofore been president of anything. We will issue further proclamations at the appropriate time.”

Joel and Ethan Coen are no stranger to Cannes. They won the Palme d’ Or for 1991’s “Barton Fink” and Cannes’ Grand Prix prize for “Inside Llewyn Davis” (2013) and They’ve picked up Best Director twice, for “Fargo” and “The Man Who Wasn’t There.”

So, the question is, will it be tough to judge the films when you know the movies would be better if they were made by the Jury Presidents!?
