Oscars: Spike Lee jumps on Samuel L. Jackson after winning Best Adapted Screenplay for BlaKkKlansman


American director, Spike Lee and his three fellow “BlacKkKlansman” writers won best adapted screenplay for their story about an African-American police officer who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan with the help of a Jewish surrogate.
It was Lee’s first competitive Oscar. He started his speech with an expletive and praised his family before pivoting into anti-Trump politics by sounding a battle cry for the coming presidential election.
“Let’s all mobilize,” Lee shouted. “Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing!”
