To quote John Cusack in America's Sweethearts:
"Why is this an issue?!"
Oprah bought the Oscar for Crash. Get over it.
Kind of in the same way Rosie O'Donnell 'bought' the Tony for Chenoweth, Headley and TITANIC?
All I know is Oprah endorsed the movie on her show and had the whole cast on. Then, on her pre-Oscar show last Friday, she was talking to Diane Keaton and she said "When Crash wins on Sunday...", not "If" or "Should" it win, but "WHEN." Kinda fishy, wouldn't you say?

I think all the world's problems should be blamed on Oprah. Bush, who?

Are a majority of Oprah's viewers voting members of the Academey?
