Reply #7: I've seen both and I think they are both worthy

[Caoimhe]

Every picture nominated was worthy. I don't think there was a conspiracy on either side, I think the oscars were handed out pretty equally. I also don't know why so many people refuse to see BBM but wish to knock it. I think it speaks volumes about their own insecurities. I bought Crash on DVD, I expect to buy the other movies when they are released. IMHO Larry McMurtry/Diane Ossana truly deserved that oscar for best adapted screenplay. If you've read the short story, and I mean SHORT story... to make that into a full movie was amazing. Nobody writes about relationships better than McMurtry. As far as the acting.. I think Jake was a bit overacted but Heath did great, and Michelle Williams is a treat. Crash had amazing acting also, with Matt Dillon inspiring me to hate him SO MUCH at the beginning. Great movies, all.
