Despite winning an Oscar, Spike Lee was furious and acted like a spoiled, ungrateful child when Green Book won Best Picture. Made caustic remarks, paced the aisle, stormed around and turned his back to the stage. Green Book was a far better movie than Lee's film. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/ITC08EgDqE

史派克李在奧斯卡典禮上鼓勵民眾用選票換掉總統。
黑人名導史派克李在第91屆奧斯卡金像獎頒獎典禮憑自編自導的黑色黨徒獲得最佳改編劇本獎,上台致詞時坦言:2020年總統大選就快要到了,讓我們動員,讓我們在愛與恨之間用良心投票,做正確的事。Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!他雖然沒提到現任美國總統川普的名字,卻強烈表達對川普政權的不滿,最後則引用了自己名作為所應為的英文原名,呼籲全美民眾大家一起用選票、做正確的事來改變現況。

這一番話果然刺激到川普,川普很快就在推特上回嗆:如果史派克李可以讀懂他的小抄的話,厚道一點,或是幹脆不要念那些,尤其是當你在用種族偏見的言論攻擊你的總統時,想一想我已經比大多數前總統對非裔美籍人士貢獻更多(犯罪司法調查的改善、史上最低失業率、減稅等等)。
川普當選後與好萊塢人士時常口水戰,他永遠不會大氣麵對外界的指責,總是要在推特上反擊,史派克李這一次就算沒指名道姓,卻因鼓勵民眾用選票改變美國未來,再次觸怒川普。
