Im dissapointed Brokeback mountain didnt get more Oscars

The only thing that surprised me was that "Munich" didn't capture an award. Everything else, fell the way I thought it would, including best song. I'm not a rap fan, but that rap song was just 'better' than the rest, with only 3 nominees which I find absolutely hard to believe. Surely, there had to be a movie out there somewhere that had a song that was essential to the flow of the film?? You only needed two more noms...

As for "Brokeback Mountain", I saw it only coming home with no more than three Oscars.


Very little political commentary. Although, Clooney did remark about "being out of a touch..." and how it was good to be that way. I think Hollywood learned it's lesson from a few years back when Moore and Sarandon did their rants on stage. Angered a lot of people and turned them away from Hollywood.
