I thought is would be Brokeback, and would have been pleased with tht. I wanted it to be Walk the Line, despite its lack of nomination.
I was seriously upset that I paid money to see Crash, and I saw it at the cheap theatre. At the end of the movie, my friend's husband and I looked at each other and said, "Racism is bad. Yeah, we knew that going in." I really thought it was so poorly written that there were points that I thought were almost embarrassing to watch, because the dialogue was so poor.
So I'm intrigued, because I don't know anyone (besides the friends I saw it with) who had that reaction to that film. In fact, a friend of mine from work was seriously shocked that I hated it. And then it goes on to win best screenplay and best picture, so maybe I missed something. I'm willing to blame it on my mood at the time or something. It's just puzzling to me.
