Spike Lee says he could not support the "Lily white" Oscars.

The OFAOBO'S  coming soon

Obviously a Spurs fan

Is he suggesting they should do the right thing

Stop moaning
Improve.

Or should there be token nominations based on all segregate groups?

Best mixed race woman actor under six foot bi sexual vegetarian award goes to..........

Not many Muslims nominated.

Not sure Spike Lee's even allowed to have an opinion on this as he hasn't made a decent film for years.

So awards should be granted on the basis of colour then Spike, as opposed to actual merit and talent?

He's a bit rusty

Just looked at his filmography and the only
one i can say ive  seen is Oldboy which is a remake
of a Korean filum

The film was a box office bomb, being one of Lee's worst-performing films of his directing career.[5]

If that's his best well no wonder you never been nominated

Guardian all over this.  Of course.

How many white people win awards in countries that are populated by mostly black people.

Film makers make films that sell.

They're not interested in diversity they're interested in profits.

Everything's a stereotype in Hollywood.  That is why most of their films are sh1te and very popular.

Spikes comments indicate he has ignored the presence of The Best Foreign Film Award category.
Talk about calling the Kettle b....

the vile 'White lily' brigade (which I include myself in that demographic), needs a kick up the arse.

Will he be giving up his courtside tickets to basketball games because there's a lack of white men? Hypocrite.

maybe however
with the ever increasing usage of enhanced computer generated cinematography 2 things are evident
1)you eat the popcorn quicker.
but
2)the yawns happen earlier.

How many "honkies" win anything in the MOBO awards.

Genuinely don't know. But how, in this day and age, can it be called what it is called i.e. "Music of Black Origin"

What happen if a YT sang a song of black origin
kick up a stink if not nominated

The usual suspects declaring all is fine with the status quo.
