Congratulations thread for "Crash"
I haven't seen the movie (or BBM), but I'm willing to clap for a film that takes on a socially-relevant topic.

Cheers

1. provocative and unpredictable...
..for the most part. I like it when I think I know just what's going to happen next and the film throws me a total curve that was the last thing i expected...

5. Unpredictable?
Well, maybe I'm astsute- but I sure saw most of it coming (don't want to do any spoilers). Not a bad film, though. Something I actually like Sandra Bullock in- whoa! It probably deserves an oscar for that alone!

4. This is how I see it...
I think that BOTH BBM and CRASH should be celebrated for winning 3 ACADEMY AWARDS each!

I think it's fabulous that the "love" was equally spread around this year, don't you?

Peace.

7. You haven't seen the movies but are posting?
Crash is a vanilla/vs/chocolate movie with a shallow plot and mediocre actors. At least it is a social type film. Bush would give it his PC stamp anytime.
He would not give the PC stamp to any of the other four movies nominated.

Wonder how it won best movie, Duh.
