Headline: Denzel Washington awarded honorary Palme d'Or at Cannes
Caption:
The unannounced award came ahead of Monday night's world premiere of Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, the actor and filmmaker's fifth collaboration. The announcement was made by festival chief Thierry Frémaux as he addressed the crowd. "It's a very special day. Denzel, because you are here, we want to make something special for you. It's a kind of way for us to tell you our adoration, what you have done in cinema. Nobody knows about that except Spike Lee, who wrote me to do that.".
