The Oscars
I was hoping Brokeback Mountain would win best picture but I haven't seen Crash yet so...
I also haven't seen Capote.

I think Three 6 Mafia got some bad words off.

Re: The Oscars
Personally I hated Crash, but it's nice to see some Canadians represent.

Re: The Oscars
Lame...I wanted to see Capote, Good Night, And Good Luck, Squid and the Whale, or Brokeback Mountain win more than Crash, but oh well, the Oscars never go as I please.
I thought Jon Stewart was pretty good though..I stayed up to watch this whole stupid show on UK time after all...

Re: The Oscars
I was glad Crash won, considering it was the only one of the nominations I actually saw, and it was a very powerful film...

Re: The Oscars
I'm not necessarily unhappy that Crash won, but I am certainly very surprised. Everyone expected either Capote or Brokeback Mountain to win. I never saw Capote, but Brokeback certainly deserved the Best Picture Oscar (I didn't see Crash, either, so I can't comment on whether it should or shouldn't have won).
The only award that I was happy/unhappy about was Reese Witherspoon's win for Best Actress. She really deserved that, and I think her speech was probably the best out of the whole show...

Re: The Oscars
I thought Brokeback was a good movie, but certainly not the best of the year. A lot of the hype for that movie was because of the controversy it made. Someone said, and I think it was Ebert, “even if people don’t look at Crash as the best movie now, I think 10 years down the line it will ring as a much more powerful movie than Brokeback.” I hacked that quote up, but I agree.

Re: The Oscars
Out of the top 5, I only saw Crash, and although I most certainly thought it was a pretty good movie, I doubt it was the best of the year. If so, then this years movies were pretty lackluster.
Crash was cool and all, but it wasnt really as moving and powerful as I expected it to be. I guessed most of the late revelations of the movie half way through so nothing was a shock.

Capote was pretty good, actually.

Re: The Oscars
I didn't see any of them. Only Narnia, did that win anything?

I heard the exact opposite thing from another critic...He said something along the lines of "Yeah, people are going to be wondering about this one 5 years down the line. Brokeback will be considered classic along with Capote (because of Hoffmann's performance) and Good Night And Good Luck will be as well, but nobody will remember Crash."
Remember when Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan? Same kind of deal...Maybe neither of those are classics, but I bet people would think about Saving Private Ryan as a better movie than Shakespeare in Love.
Also, Chicago won a few years ago and I feel like nobody ever talks about that movie...Sometimes it's better not to be a Best Picture winner...
