She referenced next year's potential nominees, and named more than one, which I took as a shot at the others as well. It's not enough to be mad at the film that beat you, you're mad it wasn't five gay movies up for the award?

Because it's sour grapes. Take your L like a (wo)man.

I didn't get that impression. I took it as him saying, this year, they wanted more overtly political films, and his wasn't that, and thus, he didn't get a nomination.

And even when doing that, he didn't take any shots at the other films that did get nominated (except for Crash, and that was more because he thought they were biting him for the title rather than it's quality or lack there of).
