Okay…two more comments about the Crash victory. Can’t find the link but it appears that the Boston Globe‘s Wesley Morris wrote that “the memo from Hollywood seems clear enough. Better to reward the movie about people who clean our closets than the one about the men who live in them.” And the Washington Post‘s Tom Shales said last Monday morning that “film buffs and the politically minded…will be arguing this morning about whether the Best Picture Oscar to Crash was really for the film’s merit or just a cop-out by the Motion Picture Academy so it wouldn’t have to give the prize to Brokeback Mountain.”
