Peter Jackson Honored with Palme d'Or at Cannes

0:00Entertainment story is making news on March 5th. The Cannes Film Festival is set to honor director Peter Jackson with an honorary pomadeur at its upcoming event in France. Organizers praise his career for mixing big Hollywood hits with personal films, all driven by bold creativity and cutting-edge tech. Jackson called it one of the biggest thrills in his career, sharing how he first visited Cannes back in 1988 to pitch his debut film. Bad taste then returned in 2002 to show the fellowship of the ring. He added that the festival spotlights daring movies and he's thankful to join the ranks of filmmakers who inspire him. Last year they gave the same award to Robert De Niro in Denzel Washington, with this year's festival running from May 12th to 23rd. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode.
