Spike Lee caused quite a commotion at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival when he accidentally prematurely announced the winner of the coveted Palme d’Or award, with the jury president stating that he “messed up, simple as that.”
The filmmaker addressed the mishap during the post-event press conference, stating, “I’m a big sports fan. I’m like the guy at the end of the game who misses a free throw or a kick. No apologies. The people of ‘Titane’ said ‘forget about it Spike’, that means a lot to me.” Fellow jury member and actress/producer Maggie Gyllenhaal also shared that the announcement “was like an injection of humanity into the middle of the ceremony.”
