TORONTO (CP) - Some are calling it a "Crash-lash."
Since Paul Haggis's film about race relations won the best-picture Oscar over front-runner Brokeback Mountain, reaction has been swift and vitriolic. One gossip website declared that the Crash victory had "ushered in Armageddon," while another online pundit lamented that his love of movie-going had been "irreparably destroyed" by the film's surprise win at Sunday's Academy Awards.
Chrystfferssen Maakorey, who runs the Fennec Awards Database, appeared to be stymied by the win.
"I cannot bring myself to update this website saying that the film the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences selected was the best of the year. Therefore, the Fennec Awards Database is closing down. Effective immediately there will be no more updates to the film side," he wrote.
