That commercial failure (Brokeback) was nominated for 8 Oscars; did it win any?

Hustle and Flow should've won best picture. That movie almost made me go out and get a turntable and a microphone and commence rapping (windows breaking in background, alley cats howling)

Good, I am so glad that Crash won, because it deserved to. I have always enjoyed Matt Dillion. Thank goodness that Broke-back Mountain lost, because wouldn't you know it, it was it was directed by an Asian, since when does someone from China know anything about being a cowboy?

I think best sound, but it lost out to "King Kong."

Great news. Now hopefully more folks will see CRASH.
My favorite film of the year.

3 Oscars, when the cowgirls were expected to take home 8? I call that a moral victory for those of us who find the whole concept reprehensible...and King Kong is more of a Man than those "cowboys" :)

I never heard of Crash. They told me that that Brokeback Mountain thing was the most significant, most innovative movie of modern times. What happened?

Ang Lee got best director, and they got best screenplay from another source (whatever it is exactly) and best score, I think.

Memoirs of a Geisha got a lot of awards, but amazingly wasn't nominated in the best screenplay from another source (whatever, as I said) catagory. Yet it's source novel was probably the best known of all of them.
