Brokeback Mountain author Annie Proulx has slammed the Academy Awards voters for handing the Best Film Oscar to Crash. In an article published in The Guardian, Annie writes: "Roughly 6,000 film industry voters, most in the Los Angeles area, many living cloistered lives behind wrought-iron gates or in deluxe rest homes, out of touch not only with the shifting larger culture and the yeasty ferment that is America these days, but also out of touch with their own segregated city, decide which films are good. And rumour has it that [Crash production company] Lions Gate inundated the academy voters with DVD copies of Trash - excuse me, Crash - a few weeks before the ballot deadline. Next year we can look to the awards for controversial themes on the punishment of adulterers with a branding iron in the shape of the letter A, runaway slaves, and the debate over free silver."
