The Chicago Film Critics Association announced its picks for best 2005 movies on Monday night. Surprisingly, they picked CRASH as the years best pictures. It’s not surprising because the movies not good (it is), but it’s definitely not one of the buzz movies this awards season. CRASH also walked away with an award for Best Screenplay (written by director Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco). “Roger Ebert’s over-the-top enthusiasm for the film’s quality and message had a great deal to do with providing us the impetus to award it best film,” CFCA president Dan Gire told the Chicago Sun Times. “On the other hand, it’s an important movie addressing a very important topic that we don’t talk about enough, and it’s talked about, presented in such a wonderfully dramatized way that lets us see ourselves and society reflected in it.”
