Because it was too depressing? It was brutal to watch--I had to hide my face for much of the movie. But its truth was undeniable and so, so painful. It worked on so many levels. At the end you can almost fool yourself that it ended differently... I think it should have won. The movie that did win confronted racism in a sweet, unthreatening way, and was very frothy; this one was more difficult, and tougher to watch--well, I suppose it had less appeal for that reason. Feh.
