Spike Lee mistakenly announces Cannes' top honor early
Fox News
Julia Ducournau's "Titane," a wild body-horror thriller featuring sex with a car and a surprisingly tender heart, won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, making Ducournau just the second female filmmaker to win the festival’s top honor in its 74 year history.
"I’m sorry, I keep shaking my head," said Decournau, catching her breath. "Is this real? Why am I even speaking English right now?" After several false starts, Lee implored Sharon Stone to make the announcement, explaining: "She's not going to mess it up." The problems started when Lee was asked to say which prize would be awarded first. Instead, he announced the evening's final prize, as fellow juror Mati Diop plunged her head into her hands and others rushed to stop him.More Related News
