Never put money on gay cowboys

My words taste pretty nice actually. Captain Obvious has to eat some of his words earlier this morning when he woke up to find that Brokeback Mountain lost the Best Picture Oscar to Crash. The only consolation I could think of is "Boy, I am glad I am not Lee Ang". Can you imagine what Lee Ang must had felt when he had to do the post-Oscar interview? Reporters asked him as to whether he was disappointed (an obvious "duh") and why he think the panel of judges didn't vote for Brokeback Mountain. According to AP, his response is :

"I'm so proud of the movie . . . Why they didn't go for it, I don't know. You're asking a question that I don't know the answer. ... Congratulations to the 'Crash' filmmakers."

Let me do the honors and translate for Mr Lee:

"Those f**king sons of b**ches. I hope they die. Die, I tell you, die! And congratulations to those people behind Crash. I hope they choke on their Oscar. Thieves."

To be pefectly honest, I watched "Crash" last night and it was pretty good. It has its own quirky charms, much more "American" and therefore more popular with the voters. And it has Sandra Bullock. I will do a review of it tomorrow.

If I can make Mr Lee Ang feel better, I lost US$5 on a bet with my friends as I am so sure Brokeback mountain will win the Oscar.

Moral of the story : Never put your money on gay cowboys.
