Why The 2016 Academy Awards Might Be The Most Controversial One Yet
Spike Lee Won’t Go Or Watch Either
Spike Lee shared this statement on Instagram yesterday to explain why he wasn’t going to the Oscars either:
“It’s No Coincidence I’m Writing This As We Celebrate The 30th Anniversary Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday.
…For Too Many Years When The Oscars Nominations Are Revealed, My Office Phone Rings Off The Hook With The Media Asking Me My Opinion About The Lack Of African-Americans And This Year Was No Different.
For Once, (Maybe) I Would Like The Media To Ask All The White Nominees And Studio Heads How They Feel About Another All White Ballot. If Someone Has Addressed This And I Missed It Then I Stand Mistaken.”
