Mike Marsland/WireImage The 2016 Cannes Film Festival began with bang Wednesday. Laurent Lafitte , a French comedian and the opening night's master of ceremonies, made a joke about the sexual assault allegations leveled against Woody Allen . "You've shot so many of your films here in Europe and yet in the U.S. you haven't even been convicted of rape," Laurent said. The audience, which included Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart , gasped. "Thank you for coming tonight, sir," Laurent continued.
