The 70th Venice Film Festival is a wrap and the award-winners have been announced. While showcasing some of the world's top talent, the festival also serves to illustrate just how out of touch I am personally with the global cinematic world. While the overall award for Best Film (the Golden Lion) went to Gianfranco Rosi's Sacro Gra, a couple of other notable names made the list: Tye Sheridan earned the Best Young Actor award for his work in David Gordon Green's Joe, and Gabe Klinger's Double Play: James Benning and Richard Linklater won the Best Documentary on Cinema award. Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope earned the Best Screenplay Award for Stephen Frears' Philomena.
Hit the jump to view all the winners.
Here's the full list of winners from the 70th Venice Film Festival:
