Munich went on far too long, and when the larger political issues came up, the entire movie crumbled. It was a valiant effort, but it worked best in the first hour and forty-five minutes as a thriller. Amazing performances though. The actors were snubbed.
Crash was contrived, but its a melodrama, which is, by definition, contrived. As a morality tale/fable, it worked well enough, I thought.
A History of Violence, of course, should have been nominated and won, but it's virtues are a bit too cereberal for mass appeal.
