\n\tDirector Ang Lee<\/a> is lastly pointing the finger. <\/p>\n \n\tLee informed IndieWire <\/a>in a latest interview that his Brokeback Mountain<\/a><\/em> shedding the Academy Awards<\/a> Best Picture to Crash<\/a><\/em> in 2006 was due to discrimination towards a homosexual love story. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBack then, [\u2018Brokeback Mountain\u2019] had a ceiling. We got a lot of support \u2014 up to that much,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt has that feeling. I wasn\u2019t holding a grudge or anything. It\u2019s just how they were,\u201d Lee stated of the Academy on the time.<\/p>\n \n\tBrokeback Mountain<\/em> did win three different Oscars that 12 months for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay for Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, and Best Original Score for Gustavo Santaolalla. <\/p>\n \n\tAng remembered coming off the stage after accepting his Best Director award. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI got my award, which was [second to] last to the big one, and I was walking off the stage, they called me down, and said, stay here. That\u2019s your mark. Everybody assumes you will win, so stay at that mark,\u201d Lee stated. \u201cRight next to the stage was the curtain. The next was Best Picture. Stay here, just stay here. I saw Jack Nicholson, his profile, he opened the envelope, and I go, \u2018Oh my god, oh my god.\u2019 It took like 10 seconds before he announced, and then he went, \u2018Crash.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tLee spoke with IndieWire forward of receiving an honorary award from New York University, his alma mater, at an April 8 Tisch School of the Arts gala in NYC. The filmmaker has received Best Director twice (for Brokeback Mountain<\/em> and Life of Pi<\/em> ), and his 2000 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon<\/em> received 4 Academy Awards, together with Best International Feature.<\/p>\n \n\tHe is sanguine in regards to the 2006 Oscars expertise with Brokeback Mountain.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIn my upbringing, art wasn\u2019t an option. Making movies was crazy,\u201d stated Lee. \u201cWe were outsiders in Taiwan, then outsiders in America, then go back to China, we\u2019re outsiders. I always feel like an outsider. Repressed characters, I suppose, those stories attract me. \u2018Brokeback Mountain\u2019 is just so beautiful. You\u2019ve read the short story. I have nothing in common with Wyoming gay cowboys. But why did I cry? It\u2019s haunting. It\u2019s just a beautiful story.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Director Ang Lee is lastly pointing the finger.
