"Crash" was awarded best picture honours in Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony.

The movie wove plots and characters from different racial and economic backgrounds in Los Angeles.

Ang Lee was named best director for "Brokeback Mountain."

Philip Seymour Hoffman was best actor and Reese Witherspoon earned best actress.

Rachel Weisz won her first Academy Award for her performance as an impassioned activist who dies under mysterious circumstances in "The Constant Gardener."

Earlier on Sunday night, George Clooney won best supporting actor at the 78th Academy Awards for his performance as a CIA man who starts unraveling the truth in the political thriller "Syriana."

Other award winners were "Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" for best animated feature film, "King Kong" for visual effects, and Gustavo Santaolalla for best original score for his music in "Brokeback Mountain."

Without a blockbuster rooting interest - such as "Titanic" or "Gladiator" - there are questions as to whether this year's awards might be among the least watched ever, world media commented.
