Who needs another Oscar nomination when you can get an honorary Palme d’Or? Screen legend #DenzelWashington received the surprise career achievement badge from Cannes Film Festival director #ThierryFrémaux for his amazing contributions to cinema, currently represented on the Croisette in his starring role in #SpikeLee’s “Highest 2 Lowest,” a remake of #AkiraKurosawa’s classic “High and Low,” which is screening out of competition at the fest. Honorary awards are not unheard of, as #RobertDeNiro received an expected one at the top of this year’s festival, and Frémaux similarly bestowed one upon #TomCruise in 2022, the last time this distinction was given under wraps. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story. #cannesfilmfestival #palmedor
