Crash didn't deserve it

It seems to me this year Oscars more than any other year celebrated movies that were poorly made but had a big message. Message is important, but how well a movie is made is important, too. If you base the a movie's quality on both its message and its content quality, you'd have to agree that 2005's best movie, Batman Begins, got snubbed hard. Crash was contrived, preachy, and nihilistic

i thought it was absurd that every couple of minutes someone was giving a soliloquy about race.

i thought it was ridiculous that terence howard's character had a death wish with the cops after two incidents with racism.

i thought ludacris's taking the asians to china town and him smirking as he watches the *beep* walk around with bewildered looks was terrible.

i hated how the persian guy went to kill the locksmith for his own dumb mistake, then lucked out when he pulled the trigger.

this movie was about pain pain pain pain, and then it ended, and i was supposed to feel something like resolution? i didn't, sorry.

for me, the only quality characters were don cheadle and matt dillon.

Crash was well made and had a good message. I agree with u that some oscars only give awards to poor films with good messages, but this wasnt the case at all with crash.

your moms a bitch

Grand Canyon is a superior film and wasn't lauded as much as Crash was. Grand Canyon was better made and delivered its message less preachily and more realistically.

Yes it did

Yup it did deserve it as did 'Capote' (which I rate higher).
Munich was fine.
