oscar shock and awe

Many people I spoke with today expressed to me how upset they were that BROKEBACK didn't get the best picture oscar.
Wait, let me put my surprise face on. The best part about an otherwise boring ceremony, was the homoerotic cowboy montage shown at the top of the show after John Stewart's hurting monologue.
This was an oscar ceremony of clip packages, to the point of exhaustion. What was up with that?
John Stewart was best on his toes, "Maybe it's alittle easier out there for a pimp after HUSTLE & FLOW got the oscar for best original score"
WAKE ME WHEN THE EMMYS ARE OVER.
