Hello and welcome to Little Gold Men, the podcast from Vanity Fair and Panampley that proves that

awards season really is a year-round event.

I'm Katie Rich the deputy editor of vanityfair.com

and I'm here in person with Mike Hogan the digital director of vanity fair

dot com.

That sounds so you sound like you're excited.

I know I was by myself last week. I'm here. Hi Katie and we're joined from France by vanity fairs film critic Richard Lawson.

A bonsoire. Yes, your accent's great, Richard.

Richard's cutting quite a dashing figure these days.

I don't know if you've, you know.

Well, we have lots of gossip to catch up on from Cannes.

So that's basically why I brought you guys here. Mike is newly back from Can.

Richard is still there. All the week and Oscar news is about Can and I kind of wish I had been in Can.

So this week's show is all about Can. We're going to talk about the biggest films of the festival so far, the

stars who have kind of made a big impact and all the gossip from the cross-set, including the

Vanity Fair Party that you guys were both at. From what I hear the biggest news of that

Leonard DiCaprio and Mark Ryelance both wore hats. Can you confirm this?

Yeah, Leo arrived surprisingly. We didn't know he was coming. And two years ago at the Vanity Fair Party at the Hotel

De Cap in Captain Tib, Justin Bieber showed up. He was the surprise guest. And I would say Leo,

probably a cooler surprise guest in my book,

although I suppose some people would disagree.

Yeah, the trend is moving upward.
