Wow!

[readermostly]

26. The Oscars were all over the board tonight. Best picture winners seemed

shocked. Haven't seen it, but I will rent it.

[KyuzoGator]

4. Huge upset!

5. Mrs. WCGreen loved that movie....

[LynneSin]

6. It was an amazing movie

And well deserved it btw!

12. What was it about Crash that got it nominated?

Especially in this group?

[LynneSin]

25. It was well written and well edited

It basically dealt with racism & prejudice, especially the fact that we all deal with prejudice even when sometimes we tell people that we don't have any. Matt Dillon was great in the movie as the racist cop (Ryan Phillipe was his partner).

[Beausoir]

[bigwillq]

11. I am stunned

and very pissed off.

[Skittles]

13. I saw all the nominated movies - that one wasn't even close

it was good but nowhere near the league of ALL the other nominated movies....not even close

[Ediacara]

14. What the flying fuck!

Worst movie of the year!

[Connie_Corleone]

15. Excellent movie!!

[redirish28]

16. Not too be rude but there where sooo many more deserving movies

that they canceled each other out.

[HeeBGBz]

17. That was a surprise

I think it's the only one of the five I've seen. It was good. I didn't think it had much of a chance.

18. interesting story...but NOT best movie of the year...

[Nikki Stone 1]

20. They just chickened out

Brokeback Mountain
Munich
Good Night and Good Luck

WTF?

[ReadTomPaine]

21. Very polarized views on this film/decision here at DU... interesting! n/t

[Nikki Stone 1]

23. I can't speak for anyone else, but I would have been ok with any of the

other nominees.

[Pushed To The Left]

22. One of the greatest movies of all time! n/t

[aaronbees]

24. way to blow it at the end, Academy

After a great show ... "Crash"? Good film, some stirring perfomances, but I found it manipulative and at times pretty shallow, weak, and self-congratulatory.

:( "Brokeback" was a far greater film ... heck, any of the other nominees was more deserving, IMO.

Well, congrats to any "Crash" fans out there. "Brokeback" still did well.

All in all, I think it was a pretty fine year for flicks.

27. looks like "Crash" crashed the Oscars. Quite the upset for the BB folk

but, I must admit, it was an outstanding movie and Ang Lee DID get Best Director, afterall.

:applause:, all around...

28. CRASH = TRASH (n/t)
