The 5x Oscar nominee recently questioned why the Academy snubbed her 2005 Ang Lee -helmed gay western Brokeback Mountain, which infamously lost the Best Picture trophy to Paul Haggis’ Crash. “I mean, what was Crash ?” Williams asked on Watch What Happens Live while discussing the film’s continued impact.

"Crash" winning the Oscar for best picture over "Brokeback Mountain" in 2006 remains one of the most controversial moments in Academy Award history.

“Brokeback Mountain” starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as two closeted cowboys who leave their wives, played by Anne Hathaway and Williams, for a few days every few years. The film was adapted from Annie Proulx’s novella by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.
