If the posters for 2019's Oscar-nominated movies told the truth, they might look a little bit like this.

I really liked the whole movie...it's probably my favorite of the Best Picture nominees...but I haven't seen all of them. Most of them, I don't care to lol.

From what I've seen, BKK was def my favorite. It was so good. It made me go and watch some more Spike Lee films that I hadn't seen before. I liked it that much.
As for Adam, yeah, that scene was one of my favorites. That one, the one where he is getting the lie detector test and talks about the Holocaust, and then the one where he saves Ron at the end, showing up with his badge are my three favorite Flip scenes. Overall, though, I just loved every scene really between Adam and John David. Their chemistry was SOOOOO good. Their real life friendship and affection for one another really bled onto the screen.

I'm not a stan but IAWTC. How do you feel about that theory about the new Klan leader at the end?

The theory is that [SPOILER] Adam Driver/Flip is behind one of the hoods in the cross burning scene, the guy the camera cuts to the most. The guy supposedly has the same eyes and has a beard like Flip (can't really remember all that well, need a rewatch to check). The possible reason for this is that he's either 1) continuing the operation by himself; or 2) become the mask, and absorbed the KKK beliefs. Reason one is less plausible given the modern day scenes that followed, but I hate reason two and don't want to believe it.
An article I read cites more evidence to suggest the second thing, but idk, I don't really buy it :T

But Lee doesn't want you to think about that specific, fictional woke dude. He wants you to think about all the "woke"/racism-is-over people like that dude that when they are afforded the privacy of a hood or a voting booth are not woke at all. The ending is not just about the right-wing loonies but 60 million shockingly normal people who enabled them ( ... )

But Oscar noms are always at least 75% industry politics and considering it's such a non-showy role I do think he broke through the other good supporting performances this year based on the fact that he seems generally pretty well-liked by other people in the industry & he's had a couple of good performances in the past few years that didn't get recognized.
