Spike Lee ‘furious’ when ‘Green Book’ won best picture Oscar, attempted to storm out of theater
Fox News ^ | 2/24/2019

Posted on 02/24/2019 9:26:57 PM PST by Borges

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.

What gay theme did Green Book have?

Ferrell IS capable of being funny, but so much of what he does is garbage. He might have been better off doing a tv series off his Ron Burgundy character. John C. Reilly IS a good actor, but is often in subpar material. The movies he’s done with Ferrell have been execrable and absolutely beneath his talent. Paul Thomas Anderson needs to get back together with Reilly & the old gang and start making some decent movies again.

What seems a little weird to me is, past movies Django Unchained, 12 Years a Slave and Blackkklansman were very divisive. You had people falling all over themselves for those movies they were fantastic and they won awards.

Now someone makes a movie that exposes racism in the 60’s but throughout the movie the main character (racist) begins to change and accept his Black Friend. In the end the White racist made a true friend and no longer looks at Blacks in a negative light. The movie wins an Oscar for best picture

Black America is outraged. It’s like Black America doesn’t want white people to “like them” or accept them, they would rather be divided.

The main (black) character was gay.

Booker T. Washington called it:

"I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."

“Paul Thomas Anderson needs to get back together with Reilly & the old gang...”

Unfortunately, neither Burt, Jason or Phillip are available.

Burt Reynolds: Another Oscar screw job. Should have got BSA hands down for “Boogie Nights”.

Then they changed the real story of those two guys. Shirley was married and not gay, I looked it up last night. Tony the Lip wasn’t gay either. That may have been why the Shirley family did not like the film and it’s portrayal.

That black actor in real life isn’t gay either.

I was thinking of seeing it, but now that I’ve learned about the gay sub-plot, no way.

Ricky Jay and Robert Ridgely (AKA ‘The Colonel’) are gone too.

As an aside, I’m amazed they were able to get Jason Robards to do “Magnolia.” He looked moments away from death (he died the next year).

Ricky Jay too?

I remember The Colonel, yes.

I think Robards was dying during the filming of “Magnolia”.

I gotta give Anderson credit for getting excellent performances out of his actors. Tom Cruise, who is not exactly one of the giants (except as an overrated star), gave probably his most honest performance in “Magnolia.” And, of course, Burt Reynolds, who had been coasting for years and had largely given up his dream of ever getting any award recognition. When a director can do that with real ego-cases and other subpar actors, you know they have the magic touch.

Henry is one of my favorites. I think he and Diamond and Silk should team up and do some gigs.

They could do a "fake" debate. I would pay good money to see that.
