There was that controversy a few years back, but everybody who's followed Oscar for a while has a list of movies that they think shouldn't have won, and Crash doesn't seem to have been one of the better pictures to win.
Too overwrought and melodramatic? Too much in earnest about itself? Too contrived?
Looking back over the list of past winners, though, it strikes me as possible that this year's winner could be the best picture to win since The Departed or No Country for Old Men.
I haven't seen it yet, but the last few winners weren't all that great.
Seems like many of the winners really weren't all that good and Crash wasn't the worst by any means.
He still holds a grudge that a homosexual themed movies didn’t win the big prize??
I don't know how Justine self-identifies, but I suspect it's more about race than sexual preference.
