Crash is best academy picture? Please...

So, I was watching the Oscars last night, and I discovered many major disappointments.

First of all, Memoirs of a Geisha won three awards... Two of which are not deserved: Costumes, and Artistic direction. The only thing it had going for it was cinematography. Costumes should have been won by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I had no preference for artistic direction.

As well, Reese Witherspoon won best actress for Walk the Line... I do not agree with the academy on that one... I think Felicity Huffman should have won for Transamerica. That's not saying that Walk the Line was not a good movie, I haven't seen it, and I believe it's a good movie, but I believe it's a lot more difficult to play a pre-op and then post-op transexual than it is to play some historic woman.

Another I do not agree with was the best song... If the definition of the best song is the number of people involved, then yes, the winner deserves it, but for musicality? It should have been either the song from Transamerica or the song from Crash.

And speaking of Crash... How the hell did that win best picture? I've seen both, and yes Crash is a good movie, but nowhere near as powerful as Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback Mountain is leaps and bounds above Crash. String together a bunch of race relation stories with mediocre acting and call it best picture of the year? The most "acting" in that movie is people fighting because they have prejudices about certain races. "You pay for my lock, you cheat, you pay for my store..." or "Well, maybe if you blake faster, then you wouldn't have seen me..." Um yeah... That's great acting that deserved best picture. Please... I guess the prize of best editing did save the movie...
