I don't think Crash should have won Best Picture.

After giving it enough thought for the past few years, I've decided that I think Brokeback Mountain should have taken it over Crash. I know people may accuse me for saying that simply because Ledger's death has raised his status and many may agree with me, but I really think it's the superior film.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Crash. Crash was a great thriller with social commentary, but when I look back on it I find the film style and the overall tone of the film to be overused in Hollywood.

When I think back on Brokeback Mountain I can remember vivid details and remember the way the film made me feel at different party and had a far more subtle style.

I think as years go by Brokeback Mountain will be better remembered than Crash.

I think many people find Crash overrated. However, I never cared much for Brokeback Mountain either. It was just controversial and that's it.

blasphemous.

I didn't think Crash was that good of a movie in the first place, but I've been ragged on about that so..yeah..that's my take on it..

I'm with Bond, I think both are vastly overrated.

Munich should've won Best Picture in 2005.

Crash ****ing sucked, easily one of the worst Best Picture winners. I'd give it a 5.

Why do people take these award shows seriously, anyway?

Because we're better than them.
