It's true! Nick Cannon, from MTV's "Wild 'N Out," is being honored today at the Cannes Film Festival. Apparently, someone feels that his performance in "Bobby" was groundbreaking -- and qualifies Canon as the "Breakthrough Actor of the Year."
That's quite an accomplishment for someone whose prior memorable moments include improv fart noises and "yo mama's so fat" jokes.
A legend in the making.

AGAIN NOT SURPRISED BY A BUNCH OF HATERS. HE GOT MONEY YALL DON'T GET OVER IT!!!
he really was impressive in "Bobby". Didja see it, TMZ? Or do you not watch anything that doesn't involve Paris?!?
Damn, I saw Bobby and cant for the life of me remember what part he played. Guess he made a real dramatic impact on the casual observer of movies.
There is no such thing as a "breakthrough actor of the year" award at Cannes. Bobby is not showing in the festival. The awards - "les Palmaires" or Palms - for the films in competition will be given out Sunday.
You've taken the bait of some publicist's ploy to get Cannon some attention. TMZ should know better.
That shows you the quality of the acting scene these days. This clown doesn't have a lick of talent.
Totally in agreement with number 5. A flash in the pan, until of course he gets arrested for something.
worst show in the history of television... making fun of how a person looks or their mom is far from good comedy...
Now that's funny but these awards shows are hype and not about talent. he will be long forgotten in 5 years; no doubt. not a talent but the fart noises are funny.
umm I think he should be awarded because he had crappy roles like LOVE DONT COST A THING plus BOBBY was like a drama type movie and I didnt belive he could do it and thats Wilmer Valderama who hosts the show YO MOMMA so CONGRATULATIONS Nick
