2019 Oscars Wow and WTF Moments9 of 11
WOW: Spike Finally Won an Oscar!
Because minutes later, Spike Lee won his first Oscar (his 2016 honorary award notwithstanding), taking home Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman. And sure, he shared it with co-writers Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, and Kevin Willmott, but Spike did the speaking, delivering an impassioned speech that touched on both the past and the future. Can you blame him for grabbing the mic? He's waited a long time for this moment (that may also explain why he reportedly stormed out of the ceremony when Green Book won Best Picture).
