Mind you, I still remember Spike Lee who complained about the Oscars. I don't he even mentioned once specifically about the lack of Asian people in American films or on TV. That is where the problem lies. Apart from "Do the right thing", which was a very good film, he hasn't done anything else of note apart from totally massacre "Old Boy." For information:
Old Boy Korean version:
Cost $3,000,000 to make.
Recup: $15,000,000
That is a 400% increase with regards to the budget.
Now let us take the Spike Lee version:
Old Boy Spike Lee:
Budget: $30,000,000
Recup: $4,900,000
That is -86%.
If Spike Lee wants his oscar, he needs to improve on his skills, do something original instead of copying on others.
