The 91st Academy Awards came to an end, and Julia Roberts took the stage to unveil the award for Best Picture, which landed on "Green Book".
Green Book is about a black pianist who finds a rough white to be a driver for a tour of the racially discriminatory South. In the process of driving south, the two very different people are constantly contradictory, but they also tide over the difficulties together when they need each other most. The film has previously caused a lot of controversy, and has been questioned as the narrative of "white people saving black people".
According to foreign media reports, as soon as the winning film was announced, Spike Lee waved angrily, then got up from his chair and left, but was stopped by security guards at the gate and asked to return to his seat. After the winner's speech, he returned to his seat.
Jordan Peel, director of "Breaking Bad," was also reported to have not applauded him or some of the people around him when he announced the best of Green Book. Spike Lee said he was like "watching the new York Knicks sidelines and seeing the referee blow a black whistle" and was angry to leave.
Spike Lee's "The Black Party" was also nominated for Best Picture and won the Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
In a later interview, he declined to comment on The Green Book. Prior to that, his masterpiece "Do What You Should" lost to "Drive for Miss Daisy" at the 1990 Oscars and the screenplay award. Spike Lee said: "Driving movies are my nemesis. ”
