Can't have an Oscar worst thread without sticking in Crash as the most PC contrived pile of crap in Oscar history. /hijack
For all the bitching and moaning about "liberal, PC, left-wing, communist" agendas in a lot of movies, I have been waiting for years for a "conservative, moral, family values, Jesus loving, 'Murica" based movie to
A.) be made
and
B.) make major box office
and/or
C.) be critically acclaimed
Don't give me any of that Hollywood conspiracy or no money garbage. The Koch Brothers spend billions on conservative issues and the movie could be made in red Louisiana with the many conservative actors we all know about.

Well, at the base, It's called Forrest Gump. You're welcome.
But,

Is completely reductive and inaccurate of conservative values.
And Crash sucked. it sucked as a film. It sucked as an experience. It sucked as a script.
And that had little to do with it's internal politics. But yeah, those sucked too.

Quit waiting and accept Juno, a pro-life, pro-family film.

6th highest grossing movie in history with inflation considered. It's $65.5 million in 1956 is equal to just over $1 billion in today's dollars.

Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, The Hurt Locker, King's Speech, and Argo all say hi. Jesus, can people not see it when their values are on display because they are so busy having their jimmies rustled over The Help being popular? EVERY WAR MOVIE is practically an ad for the army (some of them literally - the army doesn't pay for bad advertising).
My big rip off is still LA Confidential losing to Titanic. LA Confidential is a great, great film that hasn't exactly been lost to history, but it does not enjoy the rep it should. all because of that damn boat. The Artist beating anything ticks me off, but it was a down year (I'd have voted for the Descendants, but that's not an Oscar-y film)
