Denzel Washington received a surprise honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his contributions to cinema. However, the celebration was briefly interrupted when Washington appeared to rebuke a photographer who touched him on the red carpet during the premiere of Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest." The film, a crime thriller co-starring A$AP Rocky, received a six-minute standing ovation. Washington and Lee, who last collaborated in 2006, reunited for this project.
