I loved Brokeback Mountain, but Crash was better.

It was a far more complex movie about racial relations than any other I've ever seen. It was a very unique take on the issue, showing how we're ALL scared shitless, how we can ALL be racist, but ultimately, it's also a story of hope too, showing how when push comes to shove, in many cases, human empathy wins over racism. That's why Matt Dillon was up for an award - his character was an amazing depiction about how someone in one moment can be a racist asshole because of everything he's had to deal with in his life, yet deep down inside, he was willing to risk his life to save someone.

I'm sorry, but you totally missed something if you didn't see the extreme poignancy in this movie.

It's not like Shakespeare in Love beat out Brokeback Mountain. An extremely worthy film beat it.
