Crash will not be on anyone's lips or mind in a year from now, definitely not in ten or fifteen...not fifty. Brokeback will. You know and I know, and even the Academy knows it. This is no real loss, except for the loss of recognition (which hurts, yes).
But the power of this story is undiminished.
I love how Any referred to the characters of Ennis and Jack in his acceptance speech. That says a lot.
