I didn't think that was what he was saying. In fact, I thought his argument was incredibly idiotic. How can he say that Spike Lee's film got ripped off when it sounded as if he never saw the other film. I saw Spike's film and I must say, I was absolutely overwhelmed by it. In fact, I was routing for it to win last night. However, since I didn't see the other film I don't think I am in any position to make a judgement on whether it was better or worse. As for minorities getting screwed at the oscars, you bet it's happening. And it is a very disturbing trend. I know you and I are not alone in thinking this, and I for one would like to see it change. This does not however mean that Spike got screwed, although it is possible. I just wish Mr Miracle would have seen the other film before rushing to judgement.

p.s. - They are showing 4 Little Girls theatrically here in Rochester, NY next month with Spike attending. I got my tickets the other day and cannot wait to see it up on the big screen. An amazing film to say the least.
