I wasn't accusing anyone and thanks for the prop (if it was you).

If Walk The Line was nominated instead and it won and there was a thread praising it and you jumped in and said it was good but overrated and said Crash should have been there in stead I wouldn't have minded. I would have debated to get my point across but I wouldn't have thought less of you or tried to insult (not that I think you were insulting me).

If you thought Crash shouldn't of won because it was overrated, then that's fine. You didn't say that though. You turned it into a political agenda by Hollywood in order to make them not look racist. I just dont see how that's logical or how that benefits their industry. They would continue to make billions regardless of what movie won best picture, and we all know that's Hollywoods main concern: the money.

My very first post on this was about how I thought it wasn't that good a movie. I used politics as a way to justify why it was there. I knew from the beginning that either Crash or Brokeback was going to win; from when they started showing the montage about Hollywood rising above the times and hearing Clooney mention how they gave Hattie McDaniel an award while the rest of America wouldn't blacks in the front door. Whjat he didn't mention was how Hattie was the first black even invited to the Oscars and that same year he had to no show her film's openning due to racism in Hollywood. Hollywood wants to pretend that they are better than they are and they did it again with Crash. If I thought Crash was god enough I wouldn't have complained. I'd still say it was politics but I'd also say it still deserved it anyway.
And the Oscars were never so much about money. Hollywood certainly is but the Oscars are more about what's good, or what they think is good. Whoever they give the award to won't affect how many people watch Narnia, and Narnia wasn't nominated. 40 Year Old Virgin made more than any film nominated Sunday Night and you won't see that nominated. Hollywood is about money, but it's also about tooting it's own horn, and this time they did it by showing off their passion for equality.
Watch the show again if you can and you'll notice there are two agendas; Hollywood is the forerunner of humanity in America and don't download or pirate movies because they are only good on the big screen. There were several videos and slip ins from award winners and presenters that showed this.

if hollywood was TRYING to be politically correct, i think they would have awarded broke back mountain the award. i don't mean to sound "hollywood" here but racial politics in entertainment are "so 5 years ago"
crash won because it was the best picture out of all the nominees
IMO:
brokeback didn't win because a) it wasn't as moving or as powerful as it could have been
capote didn't win becuase it was a one man show really, i though it was pretty boring
good night and good luck didn't win because it was the weakest film in the category ( i felt walk the line should have been in it's spot)
munich didn't win because for some reason i've seen this movie somewhere else a few years back...
