20. i'm not sure
a few things we have to remember when talking about hollywood being liberal. it's often actors or those who are out in public who are liberals.

but there are many behind the scenes people who invest in these things who aren't really so liberal. or maybe they are but their main concern is their pocketbooks. they may have been worried about losing "middle america"(i really hate that term).

especially with the media already talking about how oscar films aren't making as much money as some other films(many of which suck).

we already know the issues of minorities having a tough time getting good non stereotypical roles in movies. and how actors are worried about coming out as gay because it would ruin their career.

i'm not ready to say this was homophobia, especially since i haven't seen Crash. but i can understand why some would think it so.
