Have you seen Crash? It in no way plays "the race card." Quite the opposite.

Actually, I thought the movie showed racism in all its forms, not just white people.

"Crash" was the only movie of the five nominated that I have seen, and it is an excellent movie. Right form the start I knew this movie was different. It has two black men lamenting the black stereotype. How people think they are nothing but crooks, etc. And how none of ity is their fault. Then they go and mug and carjack a white couple. I really hope this beat "Bareback Mount-him" for Best Picture. Of course, if it does, will gays and lesbians boycott Hollywood because their movie didn't win?

Have you seen Crash? It's hardly a typical "Race Card" propagand. I had other qualms with it (it's pretentious, when the film opens w/ one of the lead actors staring into the audience and pontificating on the human situation in poetic verse w/ the main metaphor being the title of the film, the film's a little too in love with itself), but it doesn't have the leftwing agenda as the other Oscar films do.

Never watched it, never will

neither of them.

I still haven't seen "Titanic"

That's what I think of Oscar

Anyone who comments on this thread, I would imagine. :) Books, films, art - they are part of a well-rounded life, IMO. And there is a political element in most art. But don't feel compelled to comment, if you don't agree.

I'm thinking the celebration of a man's betrayal of America (Good Night and Good Luck) can give humpback mountain a run for it's money. Sure, both hit popular themes in Hollywood, but I think there is just something about the timeless story of selling out one's country to a brutal communist dictatorship, that the Oscar Voters won't be able to resist.

Crash was a cheap rip-off of Magnolia.

I saw Crash on DVD & while not a quite a michael moore film, Paul Haggis, the Director/Writer of Crash & screenwriter of Million Dollar Baby is an uber liberal...

Haggis hates the "Bush regime" and us conservatives...

It's a good movie, and it is NOT the "race card." That's what you THINK when you first start, but the success of this movie is to show that things are not what they seem, and supposed "racists" are no such thing, while supposedly open and tolerant liberals are racists. I strongly endorse this one---the only one of the Academy Award-nominated films worth seeing. Matt Damon gives a great performance.
