Other awards
Spike Lee has been recognized by the Location Managers Guild International with their Trailblazer Award for his innovative and collaborative use of locations as a distinct character in his films.
Lee saluted location managers, saying without them, "I would not be able do what I do" as he rarely shoots on sets. "I'm out in the streets; I love shooting in the streets of New York City, especially the people's republic of Brooklyn, New York."
His films Da 5 Bloods & BlacKkKlansman have previously been nominated for their use of locations in their annual awards ceremony.[ 9]
