No, c'mon now.

Brokeback Mountain deserved this award and everyone in that room knew it.

Doesn't make Crash a bad film, but it wasn't the best of that year.

this counts as one of those "are you fucking kidding me?" moments

Capote is my choice. Hoffman being great, as always.

Stop the whining: Look at IMDB: Crash gets a better rating then Brokeback Mountain. Bigger grossings do not decide what the best movie is, voters do and they have spoken!

[Kevin alvarez alvarado]

Watch 1:25 I love Nicholson face when he reads Crash. And is even better when he announced it! Even he knew this was fucking stupid!

very overrated movie. goodnught and goodluck big time deserved it

What do you not understand?

Crash winning this award was just ridiculous, that's why it STILL causes controversy. This film was not even nominated in any of the Golden Globe best film categories. BBM already won more 'Best Picture' awards then any other film IN HISTORY + was most nominated that night.

These are all complete FACT, not only my opinion.

Crash is a very good film, I really enjoyed it (still do.) But BBM absolutely deserved to win, for more reasons than I can fit into this comment.

go home academy!!! YOU'RE DRUNK!!

Let's be honest, The Academy knew that they're screwed up in this!!! Back then #BrokebackMountain was THE MOST HONORED MOVIE in Cinematic History (Just Check on IMDB for the complete list), The highest grossing movie of all those nominees ... and LET'S BE HONEST AGAIN: NO ONE WILL EVER REMEMBER #Crash As Much As THEY REMEMBER #BrokebackMountain ;)
