Crash and Burn Brokeback!!!

Oh yeah... I loved the Oscars last night. Well, I was actually bored and irritated as hell throughout the freaking telecast. John Stewart was good although not as laugh-out-loud funny as Billy Crystal would've been. Some of the people I wanted to win did not (boohoo to Felicity Huffman, John Williams, and Amy Adams!). There were one too many montages that did not really have any significance. And there were only three Best Song nominees so there were only three performances (at least there was the musical score performance by that violist guy, which was fantastic). Yes, I was not liking the Oscar telecast this year at all.

And then, Crash won.

Oh yeah! Woohoo! I was totally not expecting to see Brokeback Mountain get defeated in the Best Picture race but it happened! The biggest surprise of the night was saved for last. While Brokeback Mountain was a good film (and the only one I've seen among the five nominees), it was not something that I loved, which is why I was not rooting for it. And even if I have no idea if the other four films are any good, I was cheering them on. So good job Oscars for surprising a lot of us with this upset.

Now I've gotta rent Crash and watch it!
