VENICE, Italy (AP) — After 10 days that brought cinematic tales of war,
crime and turmoil to the tranquil Lido island, the Venice Film Festival
is set to crown its prize-winner.

A jury led by Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron will award the Golden Lion
Saturday to one of 21 competing films. Critics' favorites include Amos
Gitai's anatomy of an assassination, "Rabin: The Last Day"; Marco
Bellocchio's lush vampire fable "Blood of My Blood"; and Charlie Kaufman
and Duke Johnson's animated "Anomalisa."
Beyond the prizes, the festival provided red carpet photo-opportunities
for stars including Jake Gyllenhaal, Kristen Stewart, Tilda Swinton and
Johnny Depp. It also identified some early potential Oscar contenders,
including Depp for his performance as gangster Whitey Bulger in "Black
Mass," and Eddie Redmayne as a transgender artist in "The Danish Girl."
