JR, Serge, you would be more correct if the jury in this thing was nothing but french nationals, but alas, that is not the case:

There are actually three juries at Cannes, but the one that counts is the one that decides who will receive the prestigious Palme d'Or for best feature film. This year's panel will be chaired by Quentin Tarantino, who won the Palme ten years ago for Pulp Fiction and returns to the Croisette hot from the success of Kill Bill Volume 2. "It's a dream come true to be the President of the Cannes jury," he says. "I've always considered Cannes the pinnacle of world film-making, and to go there ten years after winning the Palme d'Or is terrific." Quentin will be joined by a trio of actresses from the US, France and Britain (Kathleen Turner, Emmanuelle Béart and Tilda Swinton), plus Belgian director Benoît Poelvoorde and Hong Kong action supremo Tsui Hark. British actor Tim Roth will chair the Camera d'Or panel, which recognises the best first film screened at the festival.

So you have two brits, two americans, a chinese, a belgian and one single french actress.
Location may cause the effect, I guess...
One sided chat boards are for.... you know the rest ;-)
