I'm happy as hell for Three-6 Mafia. I should have known that they'd get the oscar since they had Queen Latifa announcing the winner.
I wish Garner would have fell. Then she would have had to have that man chin & jawl reconstructed!
Martin Scorsese 0, Three 6 Mafia 1. Only in America!!!!
And Scorsese is 0 for two when compared rappers (Eminem won for the 8 mile song).
but!
if you think of the oscars as a buisness (which sadly, it has become) crash winning was a massive move. it was filmed in la (where the industry types hope to keep films, instead of being outsourced to places like new zealand, europe and Oz, cause its cheaper to make them there) and it had an ensemble cast (which would appeal to the academy as the majority are actors).
so yeah, the movie was awesome, and so was brokeback mountain and so was good night and good luck (capote {ive read} wouldnt be able to stand on its own legs if hoffman wasnt in it)... do you think crash shouldve won?
i dont think claims that brokeback mountain didnt win because the academy would never allow a gay movie to win is ridiculous...
anyway thats my ventilation...
cheers

I liked Crash more than Brokeback (which was the heavy favorite over here) so its winning was alright with me. Plus Crash was a more "showy" movie, Brokeback was really lowkey by comparison and the Academy loves big, showy films.
