The 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival capped off after a dizzying 12-day affair, with its closing ceremony held in the most unusually chaotic fashion. Jury president Spike Lee revealed the big winner of the night saved for the very last announcement the Palme d’Or, at the very beginning, culminating into a flurry of shocked responses. When the host of the ceremony, Doria Tiller, asked Lee to present the due awards, Lee at once announced that the Palme d’Or had been awarded to Titane. Fellow jury members Tahar Rahim and Melanie Laurent had to stop Lee, who having realised his mistake, slipped into an awkward moment of silence. “I apologise for messing up,” said the film-maker, as he later let the presenter, actress Sharon Stone, announce the winner to thunderous applause.
