It's up for several honors at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony, but already "Crash" has taken first prize when it comes to the most curse words in a movie nominated for a best picture Oscar, according to the movie tracking group FamilyMediaGuide.com.

The organization, which tracks incidents of profanity, sex, violence and tobacco use in films, reported that "Crash" wins the most-profane award with its 182 expletives, including 99 utterances of the F-word.

"Brokeback Mountain" ranked second among best picture nominees with 92 naughty words, followed by "Munich" with 22, according to FamilyMediaGuide.com.

FamilyMediaGuide says that it makes no judgment on a movie's value but simply tracks instances of profanity, sex, violence and tobacco use as a guide to parents.
