Cannes 2020

Hi, the Cannes Film Festival did no take place in its physical form, but the official selection was still announced. IMDB not listing the selected films in the awards section or Cannes 2020 itself. I know there were no winners or awards but it would be helpful for the films, filmmakers and fans to be able to search the films selected that year. All films selected would still count as "nominated" even if no awards were given.

Please let us know why Cannes 2020 is not included in the database.

thanks!

Hi postscript -

Please be aware that an "official selection" is not equivalent to a nomination for the purpose of submitting films to our awards database.

Therefore, if Cannes 2020 had titles screened as "official selections" without any specific awards for films being in competition, these would not be acceptable award nominations, instead the "official selection" at Cannes 2020 should be listed under the title's trivia section.

Cheers!

Hi thank you, that is one way of seeing it. Another way is that all the films in the Official Selection are always nominated for the Palm D'Or, therefore they would all be listed as nominees. The only difference is that this year since there was no physical Jury, there were no awards. It would still be helpful if imdb would list the films rather than omit the entire year for the festival. The trivia section is a bit of an afterthought and not very helpful in searching for films. Thanks.

I agree with @postscript 100%

I always look up movies by the festival awards section, even to search for nominees... and the fact that the 2020 selection is missing is obliterating all those films from showing up. I also look up directors and see the festivals they have been selected in the awards section. It doesn't matter that there were no winners that year, they STILL selected over 50 films and those films should be listed as nominees. Wikipedia is becoming a much better movie resource than imdb...
