Author of "Brokeback Mountain" slams Academy & "Crash"

Advertisements [?]

In Britian's Guardian, Annie Proulx referred to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voters as "conservative heffalumps" and referred to "Crash" as "Trash", the Los Angeles Times reported today. "We should have known conservative heffalump academy voters would have a rather different ideas of what was stirring contemporary culture..."

I've seen and enjoyed both films and "Crash" is not "trash", but Proulx is acting like a real sore loser.
