In Reply to: At the end of the day the Best Picture Oscar was Politics,.. posted by DavidLD on March 6, 2006 at 16:21:12:
Brokeback Mountain was a solid but for me relatively mediocre film.
I don't think Crash was anything like the best film I have seen in the last year. That might be Beautiful Skin.
Or it might not.
I think you are off the beam about this.
There have been a number of "political" films this year... Paradise Now Syriana, GNAGL, and they have had greater or lesser success.
If being gay is such a no-no then how was the male lead Oscar decided?
I don't think this rates in the conspiracy stakes at all.
Then again, I never watch the Oscars as I give little or no credence to publicity minded beauty contests or back slapping tax deductable piss ups.
