| Brokeback-lash |
It's gays vs. racism in the post-op to this year's Academy Awards. Famed film critic Roger Ebert responds to the many -- and I mean many -- writers, bloggers and miffed left coasters who are pissed that "Brokeback Mountain" lost out on the Best Picture Oscar to the complex, ensemble race drama "Crash." Says Ebert:
The nature of the attacks on "Crash" by the supporters of "Brokeback Mountain" seem to proceed from the other position: "Brokeback" is better not only because of its artistry but because of its subject matter, and those who disagree hate homosexuals. Its supporters could vote for it in good conscience, vote for it and feel they had made a progressive move, vote for it and not feel that there was any stain on their liberal credentials for shunning what "Crash" had to offer.
