Spike Lee Wins His 1st Oscar & Green Book Wins Best Picture

It was a huge night at the Academy Awards for some, and not so huge for others as is always the case.  The big surprise was Spike Lee winning his 1st Oscar relative to his long acting and producing career.  Also, one of my favorite movies of All-Time won for Best Picture...'Green Book'.  The movie was especially moving for me because I saw it just weeks after visiting the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN and seeing an actual 'Green Book' (here the picture I took below)
