Ang Lee Blames 2006 Academy Awards Loss On Discrimination Against ‘Brokeback Mountain’
Director Ang Lee says 'Brokeback Mountain' suffered discrimination from the Academy Awards voters.
Lee told IndieWire in a recent interview that his Brokeback Mountain losing the Academy Awards Best Picture to Crash in 2006 was because of discrimination against a gay love story. Brokeback Mountain did win three other Oscars that year for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay for Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, and Best Original Score for Gustavo Santaolalla. Lee spoke with IndieWire ahead of receiving an honorary award from New York University, his alma mater, at an April 8 Tisch School of the Arts gala in NYC.
