Excellent movie, robbed of Best Picture...OK Jen, take a breath, let it go...

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2006)

As a straight woman, seeing it with three friends, we were moved to tears by this film. I think the "homophobic" pseudo-liberals of Hollywood showed their true color "YELLOW" as in cowardice. They would not vote for a film about love between two men. I live in LA and when I heard a producer friend, who is now just an "acquaintance" say that "Of course they wouldn't give it to a movie about "bf" gay cowboys". I was livid and I asked people who voted if they saw the movie and many of them said no. They were uncomfortable with it and had no desire to see it. The "politically correct" race relations in Crash was a safe issue, homosexuality was not. What a bunch of closeted, hypocritical bigots! What can I say, to have both a gay and trans-gendered theme film nominated for Academy Awards is wonderful. I pray that more funding and talent and clout go toward excellent films like these and alleviate the hatred and stupidity of our society. If anyone connected to this film reads this, you did a remarkable job!
