Funny how people see things...I would rate Crash as one of the best movies I've seen in the past 10 years. I've seen all the nominated movies this year, and as much as I loved BBM, I would say that no movie affected me more than Crash. I literally could not speak for five minutes after the film.
I do understand about marketing, though. Remember, only about 5000 people or less actually decide the oscar choices. It's hardly the "pinnicle award" people make it out to be. Just the longest running and the one with the most history. If I were and actor, I'd far rather receive an award from the SAG becuase it's voted on by all peers.
Oh, slighted this year (with the execption of Paul Gimatti) was Cinderella man (IMHO) a great movie, a great story, wonderful cast and script. Oscar worthy performances by both Crowe and Zelwiger.
