By the time Spike Lee got backstage at the Oscars on Sunday night, he'd had quite a bit of Champagne. "This is my sixth glass, and you know why," he said with a laugh as he approached the microphone. Lee's night hadn't exactly been bad, per se: he won the best adapted screenplay Oscar for his work on BlacKkKlansman. But it was easy to tell that he really had his sights set on the best picture win, and he reportedly wasn't thrilled when Green Book took the honor instead. Strong feelings aside, and with the aforementioned Champagne, Lee seemed to be in better spirits - just a bit - when he got backstage.
One journalist asked Lee to comment on the moment and to put into words his feelings about Green Book's ultimate win. "Let me take a sip," he said before having another bit of Champagne out of the glass in his hand.
