I'm so sorry to tell you, but it happened again...

delalluvia:
At least the Italians have good taste by awarding it the Lion d' Oro award at the Venice Film Festival.

amh:
I find it surprising that another organization would make the same mistake the Academy made after all this, but oh well.  Thanks for letting us know!

newyearsday:
Amy was just in Italy...she was talking about how nonchalantly everyone there was about BBM, no big deal you know? So I bet she will be surprised to hear this.

I was thinking today the slighly out there (but that's me, hey?) thought that, I wonder what Brokeback Mountain, the movie itself, feels/knows about this whole Oscar thing. I mean, we can interview Ang or Annie, but there is the actual life and intelligence in the whole of the movie itself; it is itself, and if it had a response, I think of it as being serene and accepting that it is what it is, a work of stunning depth, beauty, and truth, no bragging needed. In other words, the award it did not win does not matter. It "lets be." And same thing with this Italian mixup.

That was interesting Jenny.
I would have expected better of the Italians. And I'm also surprised that "Crash" would resonate with them.
One of Lee's biggest influences was Antonini and you can see his influence in the pacing, lyrical cinematography, and the characterizations of the "antihero" leads.
