And the award for Best Gay Conspiracy Theory goes to...

So I finally saw Crash. I liked it a lot. When it beat Brokeback Mountain to Best Film at the Oscars, there was a lot of talk in both gay and not-so-gay media that it was all down to some sort of anti-homo conspiracy. I was on a "three gay men in a Hyundai" road-trip up the east coast at the time, and I rather think I might have got a little indignant myself that "our" film hadn't won. If so, I (rather sheepishly) take it all back. Both fine films. Both worthy of accolades.
