JUSTICE!!!
I've never been happier to be wrong!!!! Brokeback Mountain lost Best Picture to Crash, and deservedly so. Crash was a superior film in every single way, and didn't rely on a gimmick and social/political pressure to lead towards the podium. It truly was the best movie of the five nominated. I really don't have much else to say other than that I screamed "YESSSS!!!" when Jack announced that Crash had one. For me, this replaces Roman Polanski and Adrian Brody winning their respective Oscars for The Pianist as the most joyful suprise in Academy history. It's just so relieving and reaffirming that the film that basically bullied its way towards Oscar gold, was finally deflated by a far superior peer. Again I'm not anti-gay cowboys, I'm anti false realizations of merit. BRAVO, CRASH, BRAVO!!
And just for the hell of it, here are MY TOP 10 FILMS OF 2005:
10. Sin City
9. King Kong
8. Munich
7. The Constant Gardener
6. The Ushpizin
5. Batman Begins
4. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
3. Wedding Crashers
2. Crash
1. A History of Violence

The thing about crash is that there is so much you want to know after the end.
hey. was hotal rwanda considered a 2005 film, because, that was better than anything on your list, including crash. It should be #1. However, your list is really good, and Im glad King Kong is towards the top b/c it was incredible and it is shame that most ppl didnt really like it.
Rowanda was 2004, Josh.
