On Saturday, the 2014 Cannes Film Festival honored the best of the movies showcased at the annual French festival. While a shirtless Justin Bieber and a partying Linday Lohan attempted to steal the spotlight, neither one distracted critics from handing out top honors.

Among those celebrated was Xavier Dolan, the 25-year-old gay filmmaker -- and Out's best-dressed man of the week -- behind Mommy. The black comedy about mothers and sons received rave reviews following its screening at the festival. Dolan was honored with the Jury Prize, which is considered the third most prestigious award behind Palme d'Or and Grand Prix.

In addition to his win, Julianne Moore won Best Actress and the Channing Tatum Oscar-bait vehicle, Foxcatcher -- produced by Megan Ellison -- won Best Director for Bennett Miller.

In its fifth year, the independently-sponsored Queer Palm Award was handed out to Pride, which depicts the true story about LGBT activists who raise money to help families affected by the 1984 UK miners' strike.
