I know its schadenfreude.

But, hey, it's so fucking satisfying to see them so freaked out by this.



'Brokeback Mountain' Tops Globes Favorites
Jan 16 11:12 AM US/Eastern


By DAVID GERMAIN
AP Movie Writer

The cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain," the film biography "Capote" and the road-trip tale "Transamerica" were among key contenders for Monday's Golden Globes, a potential breakthrough night for gay-themed movies.

"Brokeback Mountain," director Ang Lee's story of two rugged Western family men (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) concealing their homosexual affair, led the field with seven nominations, including best drama.

Along with Ledger, "Capote" star Philip Seymour Hoffman was a favorite for the dramatic lead-actor prize for his role as gay author Truman Capote. Felicity Huffman was a front-runner for best dramatic actress for "Transamerica," in which she plays a man preparing for surgery to become a woman.

Key wins by those films could help position them for major honors at the Academy Awards, which occasionally have handed out top acting prizes for performers in homosexual or gender-bending roles but have never given the best-picture Oscar to a gay-themed film.

3. I hope so.
I still have not seen it, maybe Thursday (?ComerPerro?) but this kind of discrimination and hatred just has to stop. I would love to see them find out that they really are in the minority with their small beliefs.

5. Which is ironic, because many repugs like gay porn
They'll jerk off to gay porn in private, then go out and grandstand about how "Brokeback Mountain" is bad for the country, and should be kept out of theaters.

I bet old Dobson gets a hardon whenever he watches that rape scene in Deliverance.

8. Well, they sure have a way of getting caught
Like that Baptist preacher in Oklahoma who got busted at a gay resort. I wonder if he was one of those who was warning everyone of the dangers of this movie?

6. Naw..
Just more proof for them of how Hollywood is filled with left-wing liberals. If anything, it's one more reason to ignore what actors have to say (except Ahnold, of course).
