CANNES, France : Film buffs have to wait until Saturday for the Cannes Film Festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or, but the real scene-stealers get their awards a day earlier – at the annual Palm Dog ceremony.

Britney, who plays a well-loved character called Beast, was unable to attend the ceremony, but two elaborately-coiffed poodles stood in to receive her prize. Dogs of all shapes and sizes – including a number of seasoned veterans of the popular event – flocked to the beach along the palm tree-lined Croisette in the southern French city to take in the ceremony, greeting fellow furry-haired friends with wagging tales and nose bumps, and breaking out into rounds of barking when the audience clapped.

This year's dogmanitarian was Patron, a Jack Russell terrier in Kyiv who detects bombs with his nose.

Commentary: Ukraine's war crime trials of Russian soldiers may not be wise right nowProsecuting Russian soldiers for war crimes while active hostilities are still ongoing, and by a civilian court, is neither normal nor wise, with Ukrainian soldiers in Russia's custody, says this law professor. Remove Zelensky and trial him for incompetence. Why would the world keep getting ordered around by someone who didn't even made plans to protect his own country, being next to the Russian bear.
