Cannes Lions: Day 3

25 June 2026

In another dip into life as a journalist in Cannes, Jason Stone and Lateefah Jones talk hangovers, awards and a pisspoor performance by England at the World Cup.

It was the middle of the third day when this podcast was recorded but such is the immersion in the madness of Cannes Lions that it feels like you've been here so much longer. The veteran versus ingenue approach comes slightly unstitched as Jason and Lateefah experience the nightly awards for the very first time... and both have to admit how they were.

And here is the winner of this year's Film Craft Grand Prix. A well deserved win for Oscar Hudson. We also want give a mention to CANADA who we forgot to name in the roll call of successes as they also had a very good night with a couple of trips to the stage for Gold statuettes.
