According to the Associated Press reporter Andrew Dalton, director Spike Lee also had a mixed reaction towards the win.
Spike Lee was visibly angry when "Green Book" was announced as the winner of best picture at the Oscars, waving his arms in disgust and appearing to try to storm out of the Dolby Theatre before he was stopped at the doors. He returned to his seat when the speeches were over.
