'I'm still standing': Kevin Spacey makes defiant return to Cannes
STORY: Kevin Spacey was once one of Hollywood's biggest stars, until he was accused of sexual assault in 2017. His career unraveled - but this week, he's being feted on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival. "It's very nice to be back." (Reporter: Is this the beginning of a comeback for your career?) "Well, I'm glad to be working. I'll tell you that." Spacey, who has won Oscars for "American Beauty" and "The Usual Suspects" was dropped from the TV drama "House of Cards" after the allegations. In 2022, he was charged in Britain with nine sexual offenses against four men between 2004 and 2013, but he was later acquitted of all charges after a high-profile trial in 2023. Spacey also defeated a sexual abuse case against him in the U.S. in 2022. He is still defending separate civil lawsuits from three men for alleged sexual abuse in London. Spacey was in Cannes to receive an award for excellence in film and television from the Better World Fund, which fundraises in the name of, quote, "cinematic art at the service of humanity." U.S. actors Sharon Stone and Kevin Costner have received similar awards. Spacey struck a defiant tone when receiving his award: "Who would have ever thought that honoring someone who has been exonerated in every single courtroom he's ever walked into would be thought of as a brave idea? But here we are." "I send you all the most positive vibes. And as my friend Elton John once said, the reason that this means so much to me because I'm still standing. I'm still standing." Spacey is also at the festival to promote his new movie, "The Awakening."
