talk about a sore loser bio-tch

i simply couldn't believe this. now if brokeback lost to a steven segal movie or a sly stallone movie or a j-low movie or a julia movie, well then i'd GET the rant. i didn't see brokeback (and now i sort of don't want to because even though i USED to like annie, this pisses me off) but i sure saw crash. i thought crash was an INCREDIBLE movie. great story, great acting.

take it from me, NOT EVERYONE CAN WIN all of the time

'Brokeback' Author Peeved About Oscar Loss
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 14, 2006
(AP) Annie Proulx, whose 1997 short story inspired the film "Brokeback Mountain," has penned a scattershot blast in a British newspaper unleashing her anger over the film's best-picture Oscar loss.Proulx criticizes Oscar voters and the Academy Awards ceremony in the 1,094-word rant, which appeared in Saturday's issue of The Guardian, a liberal paper boasting 1.2 million readers daily.The best-picture Oscar went to "Crash," which focuses on race relations in Los Angeles.Academy members who vote for the year's best film are "out of touch not only with the shifting larger culture and the yeasty ferment that is America these days, but also out of touch with their own segregated city," Proulx writes.The 70-year-old Pulitzer-prize winning author points out that "Brokeback," which was nominated for eight Academy Awards, was named best picture at the Independent Spirit Awards one day before the March 5 Oscars."If you are looking for smart judging based on merit, skip the Academy Awards next year and pay attention to the Independent Spirit choices," Proulx advises.She even lashes out at Lionsgate, the distribution company behind "Crash.""Rumour has it that Lionsgate inundated the academy voters with DVD copies of Trash _ excuse me _ Crash a few weeks before the ballot deadline," Proulx writes...............
