Spike Lee's Wife Tells Him His Spat With Clint Eastwood May Have Cost Him The Oscar

So Spike Lee is claiming his beef with Clint Eastwood may have cost him the Oscar. Now, “Miracle At Saint Anna,” was good (IMO), but good enough for Oscar contention? Reviews haven’t been especially spectacular, so you might want to check yourself there Spike. We adore him, but you’re out of line here.

Lee cites his wife. “My wife Tonya told me I may have hurt my chances with the Clint Eastwood stuff… They (Oscar voters and Academy bosses) take everything into account with me. They take into account that I like the Knicks or that I’m in New York.”

Somewhere in North American Clint Eastwood is reading a newspaper, smiling with that piercing glint in his eye and calling up Lee’s publicist to gloat.  [Huffington Post]
