Spike Lee is deserving...But y'all wait until The 2016 Oscar ceremony.....Black folks producing and Hosting the show next year, but if you look at all the flicks/actors garnering early-Oscar Buzz there will be a repeat of ZERO nominations for Black Actors and behind the scenes Industry workers... | |

Apparently Will Smith is a frontrunner for Best Actor. |

That was a good presentation. They kept it on POINT. FOOLS multiply when WISE Men & Women are silent. | |

Love Spike as a director. I esp. love what he said about the BLM movement and what they should really be about:
He doesn't ignore black-on-black crime, unlike some folks. | |

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Spike Lee is in much better company. The best director award often goes to someone much easier swallowed and well known, like a famous actor. Most of the greatest filmmakers are completely free Of Best Director Oscars, or at least until very late in their careers. Most of them were probably too polarizing to win a popularity contest at the time. But how one is distinguished over time is far more important than awards that most of us will likely forget about any way. Spike to me is clearly one of the greatest. And perhaps the greatest of them all sitting in this club? Stanley Kubrick. | |

Mo Better was my fave then & still is now. I miss the Ernest Dickerson shots. "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Her bit was small but really convincing as a crackhead. Wasn't she dating Wesley Snipes at the time and he beat her so bad, she lost her hearing? Ah....memories.... | |
