George Clooney stepped up.
Thats what I wrote in my essay.
Im tired of people calling me for my reaction.
Why dont you speak to the white nominees?
Ask how they feel about it.
Why not talk to the studio heads about it?
You know how I feel about it.
Cheryl Boone Isaacs is doing a great job.
I dont think I would have gotten my [honorary Academy Award] if it wasnt for her.
That was her agenda from the beginning, to diversify the voting members of the Academy, Lee said.
Its not going to happen overnight, but I commend her for this very hard job that shes doing.
I just felt sorry for her because shes the face of the Academy now.
It didnt look good, like she was having fun with that apology.
