I'm glad Crash got made and I do think there's some great stuff in it. It's just...my roommate was saying that it's a movie that makes people in LA feel really good about themselves so it might win. I couldn't help but feel that way, even if it's not fair. Not that you couldn't probably say that about other movies making other people feel good!
Oh I agree. Crash is a very good film - very tightly scripted and directed, and the casting was unexpectedly good as well. But it didn't have the heart of other films that were nominated. At least that's how it struck me.
Yeah. It's just really hard to cover up the artifice when you've got a gimmick, and that was a challenge for Crash. Not that there weren't moments that I loved, but I still always felt slightly removed from it.
