Oscilloscope Laboratories -- a new fave of mine (Wendy & Lucy) -- was represented by founder Adam Yauch:
"I was glad to see everyone in tuxes and ball gowns going up the red carpet. I was afraid that the photos I've seen of Grace Kelly and Cary Grant would have faded into history like everything else, and that people would be walking into premieres in shorts, T-shirts and Crocs. So I was impressed when I saw a man in a suit turned away because he was wearing sneakers. Perhaps Cannes is the last bastion of dignified decadence," said the Beastie Boy.
Way to rock that funky monkey.
