Cannes Film Festival to honour Michael Douglas with honorary Palme d’Or

Hollywood actor Michael Douglas will receive the honorary Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival awards. Organisers of the prestigious film festival said they would pay tribute to the two-time Oscar winner at the opening ceremony on May 16 in recognition of ‘his brilliant career as well as his engagement for cinema’.
Douglas is known for his work in films such as ‘The China Syndrome’, ‘Basic Instinct’, ‘Falling Down’ and ‘Behind the Candelabra’, all of which have been screened at Cannes. Some of his other best films include ‘Wall Street’ and ‘Fatal Attraction’.
‘It is always a breath of fresh air to be at Cannes, which has long provided a wonderful platform for bold creators, artistic audacities and excellence in storytelling,’ Douglas said in a statement.
‘From my first time here in 1979 for The China Syndrome to my most recent premiere for Behind the Candelabra in 2013, the festival has always reminded me that magic of cinema is not just in what we see onscreen but in its ability to impact people all around the world,’ he said.
Late French film director Agnes Varda and actor Jodie Foster are among the past recipients of the award.
The 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will run from May 16 to May 27.
