CANNES, FRANCE: Jane Fonda found herself in a hilarious moment where she had to throw the Palme d'Or toward the winning director at the Cannes Film Festival. French filmmaker Justine Triet won this year's award for her dramatic movie 'Anatomy of a Fall', which follows a woman denying accusations that she killed her husband.
In a comedic turn of events, Triet unintentionally left an award scroll on the lectern as she proudly stood on stage to accept the award. Fonda, 85, who was presenting the award, raced to grab the award scroll and hand it to Triet as she walked away. Fonda was seen struggling to get Triet's attention in a social media video that has now gone viral; as a result, she became furious and threw the award at her.
