Kevin Spacey returns to the spotlight to receive award and slams Hollywood 'blacklist' culture during speech at Cannes gala - as it's claimed he is 'not welcome at the Film Festival'


Kevin Spacey returned to the spotlight to collect a Lifetime Achievement Award at a gala in Cannes following claims the director is not welcome at the film festival.

Spacey was honoured on Tuesday at a gala hosted by the Better World Fund as he continued his return to the public eye after a lengthy UK trial in 2023 which cleared him of the allegations. While one person wrote: 'Kevin Spacey, Ezra Miller, Shia Labeouf and every other Hollywood abuser known to mankind prancing around Cannes but somehow nude and voluminous dresses were the real problem.' Channel 4's two-part series came nine months after Mr Spacey was cleared of nine sexual assault charges and looked at fresh claims against him made by several men, 'almost all of whom have never spoken before'.
