If you can explain to me why you think Crash is a BEST PICTURE winning film, please, please do so, because I just don't see it.

I'm not even trying to compare it to Brokeback Mountain. I just don't see how that film did anything different. It was cookie cutter "RACISM IS BAD" in every scene. The acting was great in moments, especially from Dillon and Pena, but my god the actual structure of the film was like the most forced shove it down your throat theme I've ever seen.

Looking at the noms from that year, I guess Good Night, and Good Luck should have won. Haven't seen Brokeback (because I'm a secret homophobe) or Munich, but Crash was like a movie by a director who had a history of great films who was just phoning it in and Capote was just standard biopic fare that I've grown tired of.

I never saw Crash, but I was really underwhelmed by Brokeback Mountain. It certainly has a lot of meaning as a major cultural moment, but as movie it was Bridges of Madison County level dull. I found it so dull, in fact, that I couldn't stop noticing how fake looking Jake Gyllenhaal's mustache and Heath Ledger's wrinkles were, which is never a good sign.

I just want to make sure that you are all not talking about the amazing film based off of JG Ballard's novel and directed by David Cronenberg.
