Spike Lee Gets Pissy About Vintage Oscar Snub, ‘Driving Miss Mother F*cking Daisy!’ That’s why [Oscars] don’t matter.

Spike Lee sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and gave them an ear full about how the industry selects award nominees, winners and Hollywood actors.  He also gave his two cents about how his 1989 movie “Do The Right Thing” got snubbed for an Oscar.  He explained, “In 1989, ‘Do the Right Thing’ was not even nominated. What film won best picture in 1989? ‘Driving Miss Mother F*cking Daisy!’ That’s why [Oscars] don’t matter. Because 20 years later, who’s watching ‘Driving Miss Daisy’?… There are many times in history where the best work does not get awarded. And I’m not even talking about my own work. So that’s why [the Oscars] don’t matter.” Dude has a point.

He continued with how tough it is for black actors, “You’re out there buck-naked and that is hard. The reason why actors are f*cked up; can you imagine having a job where someone is, ‘No, no, no. Your butt’s too big. Your heads to big. You’re too skinny. Your nose is too big?'” Let the church say amen. Source
