Neon CEO Tom Quinn took no chances this year en route to winning the company's sixth Cannes Palme d'Or in a row, for Iranian dissident Jafar Panahi's "It Was Just an Accident." He acquired the film just two days before Saturday's award ceremony.

Other winners included Iranian dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi, whose It Was Just an Accident won the festival's top prize, the Palme d’Or, just days after distribution company Neon picked up the US rights for the film.

The competition jury, headed by Juliette Binoche, is announcing the winners of the 78th Cannes Film Saturday night.
