Internet hails Jane Fonda for throwing Palme d'Or award scroll at director Justine Triet: 'She's the real deal'
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.

Triet did not turn around even after Fonda threw the award, which caused a baffled Fonda to spread her arms widely in a sign of exasperation. Triet was so engrossed in the moment that she even failed to notice when a man on stage picked up the piece of paper and attempted to hand it to her. The man ultimately hands Triet the award scroll as Fonda stays with her to make sure she doesn't forget to take her award with her.

on peut comprendre la colère de Jane Fonda. Le festival de Cannes n'est pas là pour faire de la politique.
