Spike Lee finally won an Oscar this year, scooping a Best Adapted Screenplay statue for his fine work on BlacKkKlansman, and aptly the award was presented by his pal Samuel L. Jackson.

Cue Lee heading to the stage to a thunderous round of applause and immediately heading to hug Jackson, but ultimately deciding to full on jump into his arms and wrap his legs around him.

Considering how most Oscar winners try to be as "dignified" as possible while heading to the podium, this was refreshingly irreverent and pretty much the most Spike Lee thing imaginable.
