Meet your 2014 Cannes Film Festival Jury

This year's Cannes Film Festival is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent history. After that star studded lineup, it was announced that Academy Award winner Jane Campion would serve as the jury president. Campion still remains the only female director in the history of the festival to receive the prestigious Palm d'Or.

However, today it was announced that Campion would be joined by 4 other women, including Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola,  rounding out the 9 person jury. Though it wasn't the "female dominated" jury people were expecting after the announcement that Campion would serve as its head, it's a change of pace from recent years which have been male oriented.

Below you will find a list of the complete jury, with a little background for each member.

2011 was a painful year for many of us invested in the Academy Awards. Yes, this was the year that Meryl Streep (undeservedly) won her 3rd Oscar over Viola Davis, the year Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close got a Best Picture nomination, and the year Michael Fassbender's raw, haunting turn in Shame was ignored completely. But among the many heartbreaks listed and unlisted, possibly the biggest heartbreak was the exclusion of Kirsten Dunst's transcendent work in controversial Lars Von Trier's poetic masterpiece Melancholia.
