March 6, 200619 yr Member YES! So happy to see Crash win best picture! It's only a shame Thandie Newton was robbed of a Supporting nomination. I also think Matt Dillon was robbed of a win in Supporting.
March 6, 200619 yr Member WOW - Crash just pulled off the upset! I wish they both could have won (Crash and BBM) Thandie Newton WAS robbed of a nomination.
March 6, 200619 yr Member I was a huge fan of Crash when it first came out, and was doubtful it would even be remembered come Oscar season, so I am so happy that it won. And I've always loved Reese, so congrats to her too.
March 6, 200619 yr Member It wasn't an upset. No way was the Academy going to give an Oscar to a movie about two gay cowboys. I called it after the GG's. BM wasn't going to win the Oscar. I thought it was going to be WTL it lost to but since WTL wasn't nominated, it lost to Crash. I am not suprised at all.
March 6, 200619 yr Member YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! LOVING that "Crash" won!!!! -I love Reese Witherspoon, but "Oscar Winning actress Reese Witherspoon" just sounds wrong.
March 6, 200619 yr Member I am really glad that BBM won Directing and not much else (acting or best movie.) I don't think it is as good as everyone thought. It did not blow me away. The second time I saw it it WAS better. I will give it that. I loved the shots and the directing and the music. But the story and the movie...eh. I did not find the characters likable. I found the performances sub-par to Oscar standards. I am very glad PSH won! Very shocked about Crash. I loved Crash, and I'd go as far to say it's one of my favs, but Oscar-worthy??? To join the ranks of American Beauty, Chicago, Forest Gump, Rain Man, etc etc etc etc?? UMM. NO!
March 6, 200619 yr Member Okay, I loved Crash when I first saw it, but the best film of last year? Really? Over Munich? Over Brokeback? Over Good Night, and Good Luck? Even Capote? Ugh. Now it's my least favorite of the 5.
March 6, 200619 yr Member Okay. I'm going to just say it. Without a doubt, Jake Gyllenhall is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS MAN I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON. Those huge, expressive eyes that I want to look directly into mine while we're making sweet, passionate love. That crooked, lazy smile. That dark stubble. That jet black, sexy, fiery hair. OMG.
March 6, 200619 yr Member Very shocked about Crash. I loved Crash, and I'd go as far to say it's one of my favs, but Oscar-worthy??? To join the ranks of American Beauty, Chicago, Forest Gump, Rain Man, etc etc etc etc?? UMM. NO! I find "Chicago" to be one of the most overrated films ever. Yes, it's good but not that good as it was made out to be when it first came out.
March 6, 200619 yr Member Did Crash really win? This isn't some sort of cruel joke, right? I really thought it was for a second because it didn't look like Jack opened the envelope, lol.
March 6, 200619 yr Member Quite possibly the WORST Best Picture winner in Oscar history, right up there (and perhaps even worse) with THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. The nomination alone was pretty shocking and although I thought CRASH was an OK movie, no way EVER in my imagination could I have thought it would win Best Picture at the ACADEMY AWARDS! Every single other nominee was totally robbed IMO! This will definetly be looked at in history as a truly awful choice, IMO! Ham and Cheese all the way with this win ...Academy pull your head outta your ass!
