A movie can win many honors, such as the Best Director, Best Screenplay, technical awards for cinematography and art, or the highest honor of Best Picture.
But for an actor, the highest honor is undoubtedly the crown of the Best Actor or Best Actress.
Those honors belong to the film itself or the behind-the-scenes crew.
Only the performance award is a personal honor belonging to the actors.
Cannes selection emphasizes seniority. The first time you get selected, you establish some familiarity; then with more effort, you come back the second and third time. Eventually, you leave an impression on the jury, and when your qualifications accumulate, winning an award will come naturally.
