Be Oscarful What You Wish For

I was a bit disappointed that Crash won the Oscar for Best Picture. I was kind of hoping that Brokeback Mountain would win.

Why?

It's an entirely selfish reason. It's really easy to find ep titles that riff off Brokeback Mountain. Crash? Not so much.

Ahh, just what I was waiting for. Here's the envelope straight from the offices of Price, Waterhouse & Cooper. What's inside? A list of TV ep titles that reference some of the past Oscar winners for Best Picture. The year at the beginning of each line is the year of the award ceremony.
