well, i picked Brokeback and still think it was a great film. . .my guess is a kind of hype-backlash and there were obviously some big PR efforts on behalf of Crash in the last few months (at least judging from news coming out of LALA-Land. (the truth is, of course, a great deal of it DOES come down to lobbying by studios).
Still, I'd say we should be happy that this year (the first in a long while) ALL the best picture nominations were deserving ( I wouldn't even have been pissed if Capote had won - though I thought it was by far the weakest)
