The Latest: Rami Malek falls, but quickly recovers, after Oscar win

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Latest on the 91st Academy Awards, which are being presented Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles (all times local):

10:20 p.m.

Rami Malek may have had a brief fall from the heights of his best-actor Oscar victory for “Bohemian Rhapsody” but he recovered in time to visit reporters in time to deliver emotional remarks on how much it meant to him to win his award.

The actor was checked by medical personnel after he took a tumble inside the auditorium shortly after winning.

He appeared fine when he came backstage to answer reporters’ questions.

Malek says, “The fact that I have this in my hand right now is beyond my expectation that myself or perhaps my family ever could have had,” he said, clutching his Oscar backstage.

Spike Lee has compared the Oscars’ selection of “Green Book” as this year’s best film to a loss by his beloved New York Knicks basketball team. He says jokingly, “The ref made the wrong call.”

So angry that he nearly walked out of the Academy Awards after “Green Book” was declared the winner Sunday, he was in much better spirits when he reached the backstage interview room. The standing ovation he received from many in the press corps probably didn’t hurt.

“This is my sixth glass — and you know why,” he shouted as he strolled into the room with a glass of champagne that he sipped from as he answered questions.

Asked what he thought of the film’s victory, he laughed and shouted, “Next question.”

Lee, whose film “BlacKkKlansman” was also nominated, also made light of his loss.

“I’m snakebit,” he said. “Every time someone’s driving somebody I lose.”

It was a reference to “Driving Miss Daisy,” the 1990 best picture Oscar winner in which a black man becomes friends with the white woman he chauffeurs.

“Green Book” tells the story of a white man who becomes friends with the black musician he drives through the 1960s South for a concert tour.

Hailed as a tribute to racial tolerance by its makers and stars, “Green Book” was also widely criticized by many as an outdated, sentimentalized movie full of racial stereotypes.

Lee, whose film “BlackKkKlansman was also nominated, had won an Oscar earlier in the evening for best adapted screenplay.

His Oscar in hand, he walked alone toward the theatre exit while the “Green Book” producers were accepting their award.

He appeared to be stopped by staffers there, then made his way back to his seat after the speeches were over and the rest of the crowd stood up to leave.

Jordan Peele, who was sitting behind Lee, also declined to applaud the winner, as did others in the room.

“Guys! Guys!”, he shouted, gesturing for his peers to join him for a photo as he held his Oscar in one hand and the notes he’d just read onstage in the other.

Then he noticed someone was missing: Samuel L. Jackson, who had just presented him with the award and whose arms he’d leaped into on stage.

A winter of discontent for the Academy Awards will culminate in an Oscar ceremony that may lack a host but isn’t missing intrigue.

The run-up to the 91st Academy Awards has featured a series of missteps and backtracks by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. A new best “popular film” category was in, but then it was out.

Kevin Hart was host and then he wasn’t. Some categories were removed from the live broadcast, and then they were back.

But if the script this Oscar season has been constantly rewritten, the film academy is hoping on Sunday for a Hollywood ending.

It’s also hoping for better ratings than the all-time low viewership last year.

ABC’s telecast will begin at 8 p.m. EST following the usual red carpet festivities.
