Last night's Oscars ceremony might have left a few film fans ruffled - Green Book was been named best picture in a surprise victory over Roma, and British actress Olivia Colman won best actress for her role as Queen Anne in Yorgos Lanthimos’s dark comedy The Favourite.

In another moment of controversy which is sure to raise some eyebrows, legendary director Spike Lee nearly stormed out of the event when Green Book won best picture. Lee, who had already won a best adapted screenplay Oscar for BlacKkKlansman, reportedly was not in the mood for coming second.

Hollywood blog Deadline reported that Lee was, “clearly furious, got up and walked toward the back of the auditorium in a huff. He then turned back and appeared to get into an intense conversation with Jordan Peele, who was behind him. Lee paced the aisle and stormed to the back of the auditorium. When he came back, he turned his back to the stage during the speech.”

Despite the furore, Lee was latter pictured holding his Oscar aloft alongside Mahershala Ali - star of Green Book.
