I don't want to stir the pot, but...
Fans of BBM, Capote, Munich, and Good Night, and Good Luck...
If you're still pissed about the BP win, and wish to vent in another location, sign the following petition. It won't make a difference, but there it is.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:25pmSeriously, maybe some people should just think about talking to a therapist.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:30pmNot really. I was referring to the wave of mass hysteria that has swept the web. Do you think you've behaved in a manner of overreaction?

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:32pmBy weeks end the people who wrote this original rant are going to feel totally embarressed. The BBM conspiracy theory doesn't hold water and nobody is buying it. Meanwhile, everyone is suddenly interested in revisiting CRASH - its getting a rerelease on Friday and they are showing the Oprah episode again.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:32pmI want it to just say "Crash's Upset." I imagine a little car with droopy eyes, frowning in a comical, yet endearing manner.

Not really. Disappointment, but not hysteria.
zepka-
This Oscar controversy isn't over. Far from it, and I'm not referring to this board.

You'd be surprised.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:35pmThere is no controversy. There is only reaction, which will be done in about 48 hours.

We'll see. As disappointed as I was in the results on Sunday night, I hope you're right.

Um - nobody in in the industry is buying it and people in the industry don't care what anybody outside the industry thinks. It is epitomy of life in a bubble.
The L.A. Times today wrote off the win as good marketing. That is all the industry is noting - "next year: mail dvds to every member of SAG." End note.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:40pmWell, at least the Three 6 Mafia win, along with Crash's, have given people chance to let out some of their latent racism. I'm sure it's been very cleansing for some.

I find it hard to read "conspiracy" into the fact that a movie about racism beat out a movie about gay romance. It could hardly be called a victory for bigots.
Not to mention that this debate is some of the best publicity BROKEBACK could have hoped for. How many people are still debating the fact that CITIZEN KANE lost to HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, or that 2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY lost to OLIVER!, or that...
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."
#215re: I'm Sorry to Do This, Really, But I Think This is So Well-Written and H
Posted: 3/7/06 at 8:55pmYeah, but debate doesn't really affect ticket sales...BBM won't have nearly the bump at the B.O. it would have had if it had won BP - controversy or not.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 9:02pmMaybe not, but it'll be good for posterity. Let's face it, how many times does Oscar really get it right?

Posted: 3/7/06 at 9:06pmRarely. But the film that wins will still be able to say BEST PICTURE WINNER, and that always carries some clout to the general public - why else would the industry even care about winning an Academy Award?

Ok, seriously...
There's a petition?
A Petition?
A PETITION?
That's the best laugh I've had all day.

And I am still working on over-turning the election in 2000, because you know Gore really did win. (He did).
I wonder how many of you are as worked up about what is going on in South Dakota right now as you are with BBM not winning best picture?
