Furthermore, it has been argued that Brokeback Mountain was subjected to discrimination itself. The movie scored a 87% Metacritic rating and won 16 best picture awards including the Golden Globes, New York FCCA and Los Angeles FCCA. However, the film lost the Best Picture Oscar award to Crash, a movie with a 69% Metacritic rating and winner of 5 best picture awards. It is widely believed that it was because Brokeback Mountain's subject matter was gay-themed and this argument is supported by reports that some members of the Academy were so opposed to the subject matter of the film that they refused to even view Brokeback Mountain before voting. Not to mention that Ang Lee's speech for winning the Best Director Oscar was censored in China.
