B13 Peer Review

It may come as a surprise to some that Spike Lee, despite a 30-year-long career as a filmmaker, and over 20 feature films, has never won an Academy Award (unless you count the Student Academy Award he received in 1983 for his NYU thesis film, "Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads). Since then, he's been nominated twice: in 1990, for Best Screenplay, for "Do the Right Thing" (also Danny Aiello was nominated for Best Supporting Actor); and in 1998 for Best Documentary, for "4 Little Girls." That's it! And he didn't win either one, despite arguments that can be (and have been) made for a small handful of other films he wrote and directed that were deserving (notably, that "Do the Right Thing" wasn't even nominated for Best Director or Best Picture, was a surprise and disappointment to many).

Please enable Javascript to watch this video Chris Brown  has only made headlines this summer when he was  barred from leaving the Philippines , his  relationship  or his  sneakers , but today the singer is making headlines for something completely unexpected: Burger King. In a new interview for  Us Weekly 's "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" feature, Chris went on to reveal some mundane facts including that he is a "neat freak" and doesn't "bite his tongue." In what feels like his perpetual attempt to rehab his image, he divulges that "Success or may never changed who [he is] as a person" and that "the best thing God created was a woman." In one surprising fact, he reveals that he owns 14 Burger King restaurants. According to  Burger King's  corporate website, an individual must have a net worth of at least $1.5 million and $500,000 in liquid assets to qualify as a franchisee for the fast food chain.
