Crash

What a total fucking joke that Crash won. An absolutely horrid film. I am completely disgusted, even 24 hours later. I know that the Oscars routinely reward undeserving films. But considering the sheer quality of Brokeback Mountain, how could Crash win? A racial fantasy that beats us over the head with a 2x4, teaches us nothing new, and has about 12 scenes that are laughably bad (let's start with every scene with Sandra Bullock) defeats a profound film that is beautifully shot, well-written, wondrously acted, and solid from beginning to end. Profoundly depressing ending to the Oscars.
