Crash  pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Academy Awards history when it won Best Picture over the front-runner Brokeback Mountain.

"V" is Vidal

Gore Vidal on ‘Capote,’ ‘Brokeback Mountain’ --and Why ‘Match Point’ Is the Best Picture of 2005

So I was eager to see the movie about the two sheepherders, actually is what they are, they’re not cowboys. You can see there’s not a cow in the movie, just a lot of sheep. You can see how the two sheepherders might get tired of the sheep and begin to look to each other, as a kind of variation on a theme. I liked it, I thought it was quite moving, obviously thematically it’s important to do a picture like that about two ordinary men, seized at a time in which all this is forbidden and so on.

When Jack picked up Lureen's red hat, he was wearing his grey, well-broken-in shirt.

When Jack first noticed Lureen, he thought she had an xtra-special something about her.

Maybe it was her hat.

"Z" is zBoneman.com

An excerpt from a review of BBM at zBoneman.com:

"Overall though, Brokeback Mountain is a beautiful film. It's simply stunning to look at (Rodrigo Prieto's cinematography is masterful), and I was extremely moved by the entire experience.  As for the subject matter, I wasn't at all bothered by it.  You don't have to accept or understand homosexuality to understand what this film is trying to say.  As for myself, I have a simple philosophy about the lifestyle; I've never entirely understood it, but I've always accepted it, and perhaps that's how it should be, because it really isn't my lifestyle to understand.  The bottom line is, who are we to tell someone else who they can or cannot love.  In any event, Brokeback Mountain is simply a movie, and a darned good one at that."

"A" is alert

Lureen sat very upright and alert while wearing her red hat.  Never know when a cute cowboy might come around.

Lureen is mounted (on the horse) sitting upright and firmly on her buttocks. ;)
