Storyful

A man who grew up watching movies involving Spike Lee reacted with glee to the movie director’s first competitive Academy Awards win on February 24 as BlacKkKlansman received the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Twitter user Xan shared a video of their dad cheering, “that’s my boy,” as Spike Lee accepted the award onstage during the 91st Academy Awards. “My dad’s reaction to seeing Spike Lee’s academy award win made it worth it,” they wrote. “He waited a while growing up watching his films.” Xan told Storyful that their dad “dragged me into the living room” so they could watch Spike Lee’s win together. Lee received an honorary Academy Award in 2016. Credit: @enemyfiIm via Storyful

7-Year-Old Girl Channels Spike Lee in Tribute for Black History Month

A 7-year-old girl from Detroit, Michigan, channeled Spike Lee as she walked through an AMC Theater wearing bright-orange glasses, a baseball cap, and drawn-on facial hair. Kenya White, the girl’s mother, told Storyful her daughter, Rosie, was very excited about going to the theater to create this video, and said Rosie could “feel the whole Spike Lee vibe, and she delivered!” “Spike Lee is one of the dopest, most recognizable directors in the world. It’s mainly because of his fun frames, cool clothes, or representing the New York Knicks,” White said. “What a perfect person to portray for Black History Month. He’s been in the business a long time and deserves to receive roses while he’s still alive.” White told Storyful they bought movie tickets and filmed in the hallway in front of other moviegoers, who applauded Rosie’s impressive performance.
