Well, Crash won. Yay for bad movies.
I've briefly mentioned how much and why I hate this movie so, and I don't feel like retreading it. I will give some credit to Paul Haggis, he of Canadian descent and Scientologist nuttiness spirituality, because it has to be difficult writing a script and filming it with fists that look like this:
Speaking of Ham
There was a moment in the pre-show Red Carpet banter when Mr. George "Hollywood Saran Wrapped Ham" Pennachio, who to this point had been greeting most guests with such effusive (though expected) empty-headedness as "Great to see you!" and "So great that your movie was nominated!," decided that the best way to initiate an interview with the members of the Three Six Mafia was with, quote:
"I want you to express your gratitude"
for being nominated. He quickly semi-stumbled back out of it, but the words - the stern demand from a white guy with a microphone for proper gratitude(!) from young black men - had been spoken.
Now, had Crash had moments like that, Haggis might've been on to something. (Haggis would've just had Pennachio refer to them with outright slurs, I'm sure).
