The 3/17 article written by Shawn Macomber is a nasty and transparent piece of poor journalism. His agenda is very obvious.

p>Why is it that so few have paid attention to the reality that many "members" of the Academy openly admitted they refused to even view BBM -- yet voted anyway? The Academy's "rules" apparently don't even require that voters see the films they vote on...Why is it that Tony Curtis and his kind are able to say openly in interviews they won't even watch a "gay"-themed movie and then there is barely a ripple in the press? Imagine any of the Academy members having the balls to announce publicly that they refused to watch Crash because it had "black people" in it... The s*** would hit the fan big time! But it's still OK to make jokes about gays, right? Did you even watch the first 15 minutes of the 78th awards on TV? It was insulting to gay people yet just done "in fun." How very quaint. If you think Crash won without some impact of homophobia, you should think again. As for Annie P? She was right on. I suggest you write and publish a more balanced article and let Mr. Macomber turn his attention to V for Vendetta . That should twist a knot in his tail. br> --
