Though it sadly wasn't visible on the actual awards telecast, Spike Lee reportedly attempted to storm out of the Dolby Theatre following the announcement of Green Book's win.

According to those at the ceremony, Lee waved his hands in anger and attempted to leave the ceremony, but was stopped at the door, and didn't return to his seat until after the show had concluded.

Lee was later asked about his conduct and said, "I'm snakebit. Every time someone’s driving somebody, I lose...I thought I was court side at the Garden and the refs made a bad call."

Tell us how you really feel, Spike. But in all seriousness, it's easy to understand his anger, given how aggressively mediocre Green Book was and how conversely brilliant BlacKkKlansman turned out.

Which Oscar moments left you the most shocked this year? Shout them out in the comments!
