[img]In the press room, Lee said, “I’m snakebit. I mean every time somebody's driving somebody, I lose. But they changed the seating arrangement!” Lee’s film Do the Right Thing did not win any awards in 1990—the year Driving Miss Daisy won multiple awards including Best Picture. When asked specifically about his reaction to Green Book winning, he reportedly said, “Next question!” (Speaking to the BBC, he says his response was: “Let me sip some Champagne.”) He closed by saying, “Whether we won Best Picture or not, this film will stand the test of time being on the right side of history.”
He is right that 'Do The Right Think' should of won over 'Driving Miss Daisy'. That was a good movie. But his disgust for someone else's movie isn't cool, especially since it was between Roma and Green Book. My question, is did he even see the movie, or just likes to complain because anything that touches any any for of racism that he doesnt like isnt good enough?
As for diversity - it does not matter the color of your skin, or race. It matters if you enjoy the movie, and if it was worth it. This year's Oscars winners were good, less political and more fair.
