Spike Lee’s personal protest of the Best Picture winner and his call for people to get on the right side of history and vote against “hate” weren’t the only headline-grabbing moments involving the 91st Academy Awards Sunday night. A rather creative — if a bit head-scratching for some followers — series of tweets by the CIA involving the Oscar-nominated film “Black Panther” managed to create some buzz.
In a tweet thread that got picked up by ABC News, the CIA engaged its followers with what it calls its new “#ReelVsRealCIA” series. The intelligence agency announced at the beginning of the Oscars Sunday that during the ceremony they’d be “exploring” the overlap of real vs. fictional technology featured in “Black Panther,” which managed to get seven nominations and take home three (in costume, production design, and score).
