24. Well, at least it's not 1976...
when such films as "Network" and "Taxi Driver" were passed over for Best Picture in favor of a fucking piece of crap boxing movie. :eyes:

You know, though...you're right. I don't think "Crash" will be remembered years from now...not as well as "Brokeback Mountain" will be. Hell, I barely remember that "Million Dollar Baby" won last year....

I'm still disappointed that "Brokeback" didn't win. But I think it will be remembered as a groundbreaking film years from now. Let's hope that, maybe, the success (and it IS a success) of "Brokeback" will maybe convince the bankers and accountants who run the studios that gay/lesbian themed films do have a market...and not just in the urban centers of America.
