HOLLYWOOD - Moviemaker Quentin Tarantino has been nominated for the top prize at next month's Cannes Film Festival in France. 

Tarantino's Death Proof - half of the horror double-bill Grindhouse - will compete against his peers Gus Van Sant (Paranoid Park), Wong Kar Wai (My Blueberry Nights), and The Coen brothers (No Country for Old Men), among others, for the prestigious Palme d'Or.

He previously won the award in 1994 for action thriller Pulp Fiction, which starred John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.

The film directors will learn their fate when the festival opens on May 16.
