Spike Lee is not sorry about his Cannes International Film Festival gaffe. 
 
The filmmaker &nbsp;the head of jury at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival, made a gaffe as he accidentally revealed the Palme d'Or winner on Saturday night due to an onstage mix-up. A day later, Lee said he was not apologetic about the goof up. 
 
The gaffe happened on stage when the 64-year-old was prompted to reveal the first prize of the night by the award show’s host Toria Dillier. Instead, Lee began discussing the final winner – Julia Ducournau's French thriller 'Titane' – who won the festival’s highest honour, the Palme d’Or. 
 
Later, the filmmaker admitted that he 'messed up' and said, "I’m a big sports fan. I’m like the guy at the end of the game who misses a free throw or a kick. No apologies," Lee said. "The people of ‘Titane’ said ‘forget about it Spike,’ that means a lot to me." &nbsp; 
 
'Titane' won the Palme d’Or, which translates to the "golden palm" in English. &nbsp;It is the second film to win the festival’s top honor with a woman director in its 74-year history.
