Why are some people hurt Brokeback Mountain didn't win the little statue?

It's not the first time? I remember when Shakespeare in Love "won" the award and a lot people thought they "bought" the little Oscar. Some are saying it's a larger political conspiracy of sorts? I don't know about that. But if Hollywood is not ready to accept "gays", how can we expect the Democratic Party to be ready? I know that Brokeback Mountain got a lot of publicity before the awards. Does that mean it was the "best movie"? Perhaps? But, like many other "best movies" before it, it never won the little statue.
