How did this win best picture?

Rating: 6/10 (25 March 2006)

I thought it was a pretty good movie, but it definitely wasn't better than some of the movies it went up against. The situations were highly contrived. Everyone was racist against everyone else. It's like being beaten with a racist cliché message for two hours, no thinking needed to understand the message.
For instance, when the little girl ran up to her father, he caught her, then the other man fired his gun. He acted completely surprised. Thus, he couldn't hear the little girl run up screaming or see her, and of course the father caught and hugged the little girl while a man was pointing a gun at him.
