Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Odds on favorite? No. Watch any of the "expert" shows, Crash was being pushed for awhile. Brokeback's momentum slowed down enough for Crash to pass it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kardo 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 I don't get the love for Crash. All it was to me was, Racism is bad, Racism is bad, Racism is bad, don't you get it already, Racism is bad. For 2 hours. It's nice for a movie to have a message, but that movie just kept drilling it over and over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strummer 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 off topic, but can't Sandra Bullock and Keunu Reeves just admit they are banging each other instead of doing the "LOL we're just friends" bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Wow, the best movie actually won. Indeed, what he said. I thought this exact thing when I saw Crash, but figured for some reason or another, that it wouldn't even get nominated, but good lord, this was a great show with very deserving winners. Although, I would've had Michael Kahn win for Editing, but that's just me being picky, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 That was probably, the most enjoyable Academy Award show I've sat through. Great opening introduction, good monolouge, Stewart brought the comedy all night long...36 Mafia, Joaquin's hissy fit, Clooney's awesome one-liner at the start and most importantly, the right people won.

Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Agreed on the "great show" sentiment. I would've liked "Good Night, and Good Luck" to win something, but at least Clooney got recognized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Good Night, And Good Luck. was my first choice, but it was really close between it and Crash, so no complaints. Joaquin's hissy fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBright7831 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Did it rival Bill Murray's reaction a few years ago? Wow, what a night for upsets. My two favorite upsets would have to be "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" winning Best Original Song and the other, of course, would have to be Crash taking home Best Picture.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 I don't blame the guy for being pissed. The reason's not to give him the award were horrible. Because Foxx won for Ray isn't a reason, it's an embarassment. Least it went to Hoffman and not Ledger doing a Trace Adkins impersonation. And yes, Tony Danza was in CRASH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Of the best pictures, I've only seen Crash and Brokeback. I liked both alot, so I won't complain, but I felt Brokeback had more of that epic Oscar feel to it. I plan on seeing the other three, and I get the feeling one of them was a better choice.
