Monday, March 06, 2006 Crash Wins Best Picture at the Oscars ![]() Crash won Best Picture at the Oscars. I'm incredibly sad and disappointed that an amazing film like Good Night and Good Luck didn't win b/c it is a great movie that I think is superior to Crash and not just b/c it mirrors a tale of own our modern day McCarthyism, courtesy of BushCo (although Clooney's Oscar for best supporting actor in Syriana is pretty sweet)-- but I think that Crash won Best Picture due to the reeling horror over the Katrina debacle and the deep racism that pollutes our nation. And while I don't think that it deserved Best Picture, if the Crash win was in response to America's problem of racism, then I'm fine w/that. God knows it is far more than we'll ever receive from the White House, the GOP & plenty of average Americans who are openly or secretly racist. ![]() |
