This time Oscar recognizes Brokeback Mountain (not Crash)!

Just found this and wanted to share.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has released its promotional poster for the upcoming Oscars in February and what they've done is made a backdrop with the most famous quotes in film history.  Brokeback Mountain made it into the poster, and as far as I can tell (I may have overlooked it, but I doubt it), Crash isn't anywhere to be found.  In fact, I think Brokeback Mountain is the most recent film to be put on the poster.

If you would like to see it, make sure you are looking at the 1200x1778 resolution photo... otherwise it will be hard to read (for some reason, my computer is wanting to automatically size it down for me).

It's the second one down in the top left-hand corner.  If you were going to read the poster like a page in a book, it's got a prime location.

David:
Some great quotes in there!   

I still don't think i'll watch the Oscars this year.   Yeah, sour grapes.   :-\

Brown Eyes:
Heya,

Thanks for the info on the poster.  That's great for BBM! 

But, I'm with David... I'm boycotting the Oscars this year too.  I'm not all that interested in the contenders this year in any case.

Ellemeno:
Could AMPAS possibly have given it such primo real estate in reaction to people's upset at BBM losing last year?

Thanks for the info.  Ditto for me and the boycott.  No interest in seeing the Awards anymore.
