Spike Vs. The Academy Awards
Spike Lee unloads: “In 1989, ‘Do the Right Thing’ was not even nominated. What film won best picture in 1989? ‘Driving Miss Motherf—ing Daisy‘! That’s why [Oscars] don’t matter. Because 20 years later, who’s watching ‘Driving Miss Daisy’?†I got news for you, Spike: more people still watch “Driving Miss Motherf—ing Daisy” than watch “Do the Right Thing.” Lee hasn’t made a film in three years: maybe if there’s an NBA lockout this fall, he will.
