Spike Lee

There were some exciting nominations, and some frustrating omissions.

David Byrne’s ‘American Utopia’ and ‘Cats’ will make it a musical month.

Lee’s film about five African American vets who return to Vietnam is one of his great works.

“Will History Stop Repeating Itself?” links recent real-world acts with a scene from Lee’s ‘Do the Right Thing.’

New films from Will Ferrell and Spike Lee headline a big month of streaming.

Lee’s latest is about a platoon of veterans who return to Vietnam in search for buried treasure.

It’s a tribute to his home, and to its heroes.

Aiello also appeared in ‘The Purple Rose of Cairo’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in America.’

“The ref made a bad call,” Lee said of the Best Picture winner.

He’s never been nominated for Best Picture before either.
