In a surprise moment at the Cannes Film Festival, American actor Denzel Washington was awarded an honorary Palme d\u2019Or on Monday during a whirlwind visit to attend the premiere of Spike Lee\u2019s latest film Highest 2 Lowest<\/em>.<\/p>\n Washington, who is currently starring in Othello<\/em> on stage in New York, made a brief stop in France on his only day off. Cannes organizers adjusted part of their schedule to accommodate his visit. Festival president Thierry Fr\u00e9maux presented the award to Washington just before the film\u2019s premiere, in a moment that took the actor completely by surprise, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my brother right here,\u201d said director Spike Lee, who handed the Palme to Washington. \u201cThis is a total surprise to me,\u201d Washington responded during the emotional moment.<\/p>\n The Cannes Film Festival typically awards one or two honorary Palmes each year. Last year\u2019s recipients were George Lucas and Studio Ghibli. Actor Robert De Niro received one during the festival\u2019s opening night last week\u2014an honor that had been previously announced.<\/p>\n However, surprises are not uncommon at Cannes. In 2022, Tom Cruise was presented with a surprise honorary Palme d\u2019Or moments before the screening of Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>.<\/p>\n When the festival\u2019s official lineup was announced last month, Highest 2 Lowest<\/em> was not included. Hours later, Spike Lee revealed on social media that his film would premiere at Cannes. Festival officials said they were awaiting confirmation of Washington\u2019s attendance on the red carpet.<\/p>\n Highest 2 Lowest<\/em> is a remake of Akira Kurosawa\u2019s 1963 classic High and Low<\/em>. The film is set for theatrical release by A24 on August 22, followed by streaming on Apple TV+ beginning September 5.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from content and romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this “This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
