The Oscar race for 1989 is still remarked upon for Spike Lee's and Do The Right Thing's disregard for best director or best picture consideration, Driving Miss Daisy's equally baffling win and Denzel Washington's second nomination and first win for being beaten like a slave. We explore what was at stake with these films, Hollywood's choice, and how Spike's omission becomes permission for the black filmmakers that follow. Produced by the Podglomerate.
