Got the most votes but a majority voted for 1of the other 9 nominees. Bad choice when other top categories go to other films.
People hate on Crash because it beat out Brokeback Mountain, so the race movie beat out the gay movie and libs thought the Academy played it safe.
Crash, while not a great movie, was typical Oscar stuff, with lots of great actors in it, so it isn’t too bad to watch if you go for this sort of thing.
I think I saw about 3 or 4movies this past year, and most (all) were comic book films.
And the director, writer, producer Peter Farrelly last year admitted to flashing his weinie to hundreds in first-time film meetings as “a joke”. Not only did he get away with it without consequences, but “The Academy” awarded him with Best Picture for the year.
Drudge has a fixation with Hollywood and movies. If it weren’t for his Oscars ‘headline’ on his page, no one would even know there was a Oscar night.
Drudge, stop with the Hollywierd promotion.
I saw it last week, I thought it was really good. Probably a 4 out of 5 stars. What I liked about it is it threw all the politically correct BS about race right out the window and showed what REAL racism is, and it’s not the crap the left pushes today. Plus it ended on a positive note, how basic communication breaks down walls - while I heard Spike Lees movie ended on a bad note by blaming Trump for racism. So once again, we have another leftist - Spike Lee - insulting every last black who went through REAL racism 55+ years ago, and then he whines and complains when his movies doesn’t win best picture
Uh, LAT, virtually everything coming out of your third world town is not worth &^%*.
The vast majority of us have not seen one of H-wood’s Oscar nominees and we really no longer give a shi-—er-—Obama.
I think Crash is an amazing movie. It’s for adults though. Only adults will truly get it.
While some on the Left among Hollywood may not like the film, the political demographics of Hollywood are clear - it is overwhelmingly folks on the Left. So, it is folks with more Left than Conservative politics that voted for the film.
Why? It checked off one of the Left’s current agendas - “Let’s keep racial politics alive, we still need it to herd the sheeple our way.”
It was not about the details of the story, or the acting, or the directing, or the filming - it’s 1950s segregation all over again, and that was enough for a majority of the academy’s voters.
Did Spike Lee throw a hissy fit?
“The truth of those stories has been called into question by many, including Shirley’s family, which wasn’t consulted during production and which dismissed the movie as “a symphony of lies.”

We don’t get truth anymore from ‘news’ or hollyweird or politicians, especially libtard ones.
If you watch TCM’s 31 days of Oscar you’ll see Hollywood almost always gives Oscar to crap
“It reduces the long, barbaric and ongoing history of American racism to a problem, a formula, a dramatic equation that can be balanced and solved.”
In other words, history and a serious issue got the standard Hollyweird treatment. Nothing new under the sun.
Also, this reviewer sounds like he is living in the America of 1919, not 2019 (”ongoing history?”).
IOW, we don't want it solved and this pic shows everyone that it CAN be solved.......................
Finally saw Green Book. Liked it. Didn’t know about Don Shirley. Ended up
reading more about him. Might download some songs. I have seen better Best Picture movies, however.
