Last night director Spike Lee tried to storm out of the theater after Green Book won the Academy Award for Best Picture...
Backstage Spike likened his reaction to a referee making a bad call at Madison Square Garden.
Fun Fact: Green Book was written by the son of the white driver for real life Black concert pianist Dr. Donald Shirley and Dr. Shirley's family has said the book and film were pure fiction and that the driver was eventually fired for refusing to carry Dr. Shirley's bags and that claims Dr. Shirley was estranged from his own family and Black people in general are false.
Also notable, director Boots Riley has accused Spike Lee of romanticizing the CIA and downplaying how they infiltrated and neutralized the Black Power movement in the 60s and 70s for his Academy Award winning film Blackkklansman.
Ok. Here's are some thoughts on #Blackkklansman.— Boots Riley (@BootsRiley) August 17, 2018
