"CRASH"...
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named "Crash" the best film of the year Sunday, turning its back on "Brokeback Mountain," a film about the love affair between two gay men, which had dominated virtually every other movie award in the run-up to the Oscars.
Ang Lee, however, won the Academy Award for best director for "Brokeback."
