Frank Rich compares Bareback Mountain not winning an Oscar to murder. ........................................................... "Call it Backlash Mountain. Spooked by declining box office receipts, Hollywood honchos are aiming to prove they can be as provincial and bloody-minded as any heartland homophobe. In Ang Lee's masterful Brokeback Mountain, two young men in '60s-era Wyoming fall into a forbidden relationship and are pulled apart by social pressures. One is beaten to death by thugs. Yet on Oscar Night the Academy cold-cocked this wrenching film in favor of hometown favorite Crash. Perhaps not since the beating death of another gay Shepherd from Wyoming (Remember him? Went by the name Matthew) has there been a less justified assault." — New York Times op-ed columnist and culture section adviser Frank Rich, April 1.
