(Sunday, March 5, 2006, 8:00 p.m. EST) — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named Crash the best film of the year tonight during the 78th Academy Awards at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, turning its back on Brokeback Mountain, a film about the love affair between two gay men, which had dominated virtually every other movie award in the run-up to the Oscars.

Ang Lee, however, was the Academy Award for best director for Brokeback.

Philip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor for Capote and Reese Witherspoon won Best Actress for Walk the Line.
