So lets start with how many I got right.
Best Director, Best Actor, Supporting Actor with Best Actress as my pick but not what I thought the Academy would pick.
I missed Supporting Actress and Best Picture.

Now lets start with what the #~@% that was last night!
The pimp song as an Oscar winner?
OK I get the whole "Let's try to be hip" thinking behind the Academy but you know what...leave that $#!& for the MTV Awards ok.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CLASSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did that class go?
Every freaking country voted Brokeback Mountain as their best picture and we pick Crash?
How does that make us look?
Like morons and tasteless jackasses.
Don't get me wrong, Crash is a fantastic movie and I even bought it on dvd and it made me cry yet again.
But don't stand there and try to tell me it was better than Brokeback Mountain.
Brokeback went above and beyond all the other films to achieve a tenderness and a message that will linger way longer than the message behind Crash.
Of all the awards given there were some that just didn't make any sense.
Like Cinematography given to Memoirs of a Geisha.
Although a beautifully shot movie, Brokeback was visually stunning.
That was probably the best thing about the freaking movie.
Does anyone of these voters in the Academy even know what they are voting for?
Makeup went to Narnia instead of Star Wars? What in God's good name was that?
Now they did get it right on some of the awards.
Costume for Geisha was dead on.
Documentary Feature for the Penquins was perfect.
Film Editing for Crash...right on the money.
Music score for Gustavo in Brokeback was the best award given in my eyes.
That score was perfectly matched for such a sweet subtle movie.
And both Screenplays were exactly what they should've been.
But I have never seen a director win and his picture not win.
What is that?
"OH Ang you did the best job directing but your picture isn't the best."
How is that even possible?
I could go on for hours so I'll just say in my eyes and the rest of the WORLD that Brokeback Mountain is and will always be the best picture of 2006.
