Spike Lee, the famed director whose “BlacKkKlansman,” was up for a best picture award at the Oscars on Sunday night, reportedly attempted to storm out of the Dolby Theatre after it was announced that “Green Book” won the award.

He walked toward the back of the auditorium and, according to a reporter for Deadline, got into what appeared to be an intense conversation with the writer Jordan Peele. The report said that he turned his back to the stage during the speech.

Im reading the liberal criticisms of Green Book and it is truly frightening. The criticism is that it portrays hope and how far we’ve come, that racism can be overcome. They reject all of this and say America is a “brutally” racist country. These people are racist evil personified.

Spike Lee tweeted out an elderly couple’s home address to his QUARTER MILLION IDIOT FOLLOWERS, mistakenly thinking they were George ZImmerman’s parents.

They had to flee their home till he apologized and paid up.

The day Spike Lee is taken out by some Crips/Bloods gangbangers should be made into a national holiday.

Mr Lee... “It’s an honor just to be nominated.”

Rami Malek is one heck of a talented actor. He has a bright future ahead of him. I’m gonna have to binge watch Mr. Robot.

Well, at least he can console himself at his nice summer place in Martha's Vineyard.

"Spike Lees daddy left his mom for a white woman"

I guess that is major contributing factor to his publicly-stated disdain for interracial couples. A stance for which he receives no criticism whatsoever from the media or from his hollywood cohorts. Of course; spike lee's hatred of white people doesn't prevent him from living in a posh $35 million townhouse in one of the wealthiest, whitest neighborhoods in Manhattan. No-talent hypocrite.

I’d rather watch the short about menstruation.

“His Oscar in hand, he walked alone toward the theatre exit while the “Green Book” producers were accepting their award.”

This as**ole and his race pimping/“look at me!” schtick has been going on for far too long.

I calculated that I haven’t been to the movies in going on three years. There’s my level of interest in Hollywood...

Spikey only bitched because he lost. It pays no credit to the winner.

He expected to win for a remake of a 1966 film? No originality!
Quoting RottenTomaotes
“It feels like a bizarre recreation of that Dave Chapelle sketch about the blind, and black, Klansman. It’s a story inviting irony and bafflement...”

Don’t blame him. It was an OK movie but hardly best picture material.

Knowing this I just don't know *how* I'll be able to get through my day!

Why would I *possibly* want to waste my money seeing it given that Dave Chappelle beautifully covered the topic years ago?

Spike’s outfit made him look like he should be driving one of the limos.

Probably mad he couldn’t deliver the speech he wanted to end the telecast with. Bet he was ready to raise a riot.
