Crash Lands Shock Oscar Triumph

Crash was the shock winner at the 78th Academy Awards, winning best film ahead of favourite Brokeback Mountain.

The filmmakers paid tribute to fellow nominees for creating one of the "most maverick, breathtaking" years in films.

Ang Lee won best director for Brokeback Mountain, but ultimately the film only won three of its eight nominations.

Actress Reese Witherspoon and Philip Seymour Hoffman shared the acting honours for roles in Walk The Line and Capote respectively.

The 29-year-old Witherspoon, who won for her role as June Carter Cash, thanked her co-star Joaquin Phoenix: "I feel so lucky to have gone on this journey with you."
