- Bullock’s stair-fall editing is terrible despite the film winning the editing Oscar.
- Two films called Crash within eight years prompts a proposed twenty-year title-protection rule.
- Dillon’s heroic redemption and sole acting nomination are criticized; Howard’s Hustle and Flow campaign partly explains his absence, while Newton deserved recognition.
- The opening metal-and-glass metaphor is mocked; a stranger’s Crash pickup line is recalled.
- Cheadle’s stereotyping of his girlfriend’s heritage feels mechanically inserted to make him racist too.
