 I live here...I know this city....I know the entertainment industry very well...it was not going to win...it may seem liberal to the outside, but its not.....besides....you should  know not to believe the "hype"...I am not saying that Crash is the best thing since sliced bread....but Brokeback Mountain nor Capote had a snowballs chance in hell.  It did deserve the other awards that it did get in the academy...YAY for Philip Seymour Hoffman, I just love him and also YAY for best adapted screenplay...and Ang Lee was going to win for best director....there was no doubt about that....
