Arguably the most influential body in Hollywood, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, showed the world it had a role to play in the betterment of society by awarding the best picture oscar to 'Crash' rather than much hyped 'Brokeback Mountain'. There are after all more important issues to address in this much misaligned world, namely; journalism and the search for the truth, racism and the idea of seperateness.
Diana Ossana, who shared the best adapted screenplay award with Larry McMurty for Brokeback Mountain, did it for me in her acceptance speech by saying; "The duty of art is to send light into men's hearts."
The world looks to Hollywood for entertainment and therein lies its responsibility to drive home the messages of peace, justice and unity.
In walking the talk, they gave Ang Lee the Oscar for Best Director making him the first Asian to be bestowed the honour. Good shot ladies and gentlemen of the Academy.
