I am sure is “boycott” announcement has had the oposite intended effect.

Spike Lee has said that he and his wife will not attend the Academy Awards ceremony next month, citing the lack of racial diversity among the nominees in all four acting categories for a second year in a row.

Translation: "Chi-Raq didn't get nominated so I ain't payin' all that money to go to this."

Spike was really upset that Tarantino’s gay black bounty hunter in Hateful Eight didn’t get nominated.

Right on, I’d have to eat a whole bottle of fiber pills to work up a you-know-what.

I like Spike’s glasses though, they look like something a clown would wear.

Gee, maybe if they had more competent film makers making more movies about things that more people wanted to see, instead of about slaves and butlers, there’d be more diversity in the Awards.....
