Shortly afterward, he went on to win the Los Angeles Film Critics New Generation award and the Prix de Jeuness at the Cannes Film Festival for his 1986 hit film She's Gotta Have It. Lee followed with School Daze, a musical comedy about color and class consciousness among African-American college students. Other films include Mo' Better Blues, Jungle Fever, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Clockers, 4 Little Girls, Get on the Bus and 25th Hour. In addition to his willingness to take on controversial subjects, such as female sexuality, interracial romance, and color consciousness among blacks, Lee is known for his insistence on maintaining independent control of his projects. The Las Vegas Film Critics Society is proud to honor Spike Lee with this year's William Holden Lifetime Achievement Award. |
