BABEL - Its the social-message movie of the year, and the sort of material that the Oscars love. However, CRASH's surprise win last year for Best Picture might turn Oscar voters from supporting this horse (which is a pity, since BABEL wipes its ass with that mediocre after school-special CRASH).
I agree, Babel was a better movie than Crash but I remember Crash still being a good movie. I've only seen it once (when it first came out on DVD) and I'm been meaning to rewatch it soon.
