Title: Could 'Crash' Steal Brokeback Mountain's Thunder? (AP)

Fans may need to brace themselves if Brokeback gets swept away by Crash, the little movie with the huge cast that may leave Mountain fans complaining that Ang Lee's film peaked too soon....

Bad Academy Awards puns are flying. There's the "Brokeback backlash" ... the little film that "crashed" the party ... the one about "Brokeback Mountain" peaking too early.

While the cowboy love story "Brokeback Mountain" has been established as a solid favorite for the best-picture Oscar, the ensemble drama "Crash" has an ardent following and some late-season momentum that could make it a surprise winner.
