162916, I think she's saying

that Hollywood is made up of stereotypical lightweight liberals, that they aren't genuinley progressive. She's not saying discussion of racism is obsolete but that the broad and insultingly cursory insight into it that Crash offers would be clearly outdated to anyone who could genuinely claim to be progressive.
In contrast Brokeback Mountain can tell a complex and unapolegitic story about a Gay relationship without resorting to the kind of broad "gay people are people too!" lessons movies like Philadelphia were obliged to over a decade ago.

She's bitter about losing to a piece of shit, not losing in general. There's nothing wrong with that. She'd probably be irked if she had nothing to do with the awards like a load of other people are. Cronenberg chimed in with the same sentiment last week.
