I can't believe 'Crash' upset 'Brokeback Mountain' and Reese Whiterspoon, Philip Seymour Hoffman and George Clooney winning for their roles in 'Walk The Line', 'Capote' and 'Syriana' respectively.

Now those are 5 movies I still need to see!!

After all the good reviews about 'Brokeback Mountain' and for it not to win in the Best Picture category; do you think this is a sign that the Academy is still afraid to recognize Gay people?
