Saturday's Golden Lion Is Not a New Prize

TL;DR

Reuters filed Woman Unknown's Golden Lion on Saturday; Sunday has no second Lion.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed the winners table on Saturday. Sunday does not re-award it.

X Perspective

Festival feeds treat a recap as a new awards night.

May el-Toukhy's Woman Unknown won the Golden Lion on Saturday. [1] This paper printed the Lion, Arcel, and the rest of the table. Sunday has no second prize. A Lion is not a U.S. release date. Recap copy that pretends the Sala Grande is still in session is a feed. Print that Saturday's table stands. Do not print a new Lion. No second Actress envelope is in Sunday's stack.

No second Lion is in Sunday's Lido copy, so Saturday's table remains Saturday's and not a new awards night.
Sunday owns the recap. Recap that pretends the Sala Grande is still voting is a feed, not Reuters.
No second Lion is in Sunday's stack.
Saturday's Lion is still Saturday's Lion. Sunday re-awarded nothing.
Saturday's table is final in a way box-office numbers never are: voted, announced, engraved. Sunday's papers can only recapitulate. The Lion stays where the jury put it.

Engraved names don't move; Sunday's don't. The jury's placement holds. Recapitulation is the coverage.

Coverage recapitulates; Sunday recapitulates. Engraved Lions don't move. Saturday's table is final.

Voted, announced, engraved: Saturday's table does not move. Sunday's papers recapitulate. Box-office numbers never had this finality.

Woman Unknown still holds Saturday's Golden Lion after the jury's vote. May el-Toukhy's prize left the Sala Grande once it had been announced. No second Lion arrived overnight on the Lido. A recap column is not another awards night.
Woman Unknown still holds Saturday's Golden Lion. A recap is not another awards night. No second Lion arrived overnight.

Woman Unknown still holds Saturday's Golden Lion. A recap is not another awards night. No second Lion arrived overnight.
