Brokeback Mountain (practically) Sweeps Golden Globes
 
How gay is that?!

It's a whole new world

But, don't forget, Will and Grace paved the way for Brokeback Mountain.

Love that movie. I thought all the awards they won were right on the money. I did like Heath's Ennis until I saw Phillip's Capote. Wow. The Best Actor nod went to the right queen character...

Rumor has it that Heath mouthed the words 'What the f**k' after the Best Actor winner was announced and it wasn't him. I read it in a Boston paper this morning. I taped the show last night, I'll have to rewind that moment.

Ang Lee is soooo cool. Love him.

Jim Shamus, who accepted the award for Best Picture Drama, was at the Harvard showing I was at. He's a really cool guy and very frickin smart for releasing this movie slllloooowly.

Anyone else bugged by Ryan Phillipe? Love his wife, he's cute but really annoying with his spotlight stealing antics...

I loved Geena Davis' acceptance speech. Hysterical. George made me laugh, too.

And I just love, love my Brit actors: Emma, Colin, Hugh L and Anthony Hopkins. (Had no idea it was pronounced 'Antony'...) :)

Need to see 'Walk the Line'.
Need to see the gay cowboy movie again...

As far as I'm concerned, any discussion about gay cowboys begins and ends with John Wayne. He is, and always will be, the world's greatest gay cowboy.

Unfortunately for me, I read the title of this thread before the GGs were finished airing :(

Oh well, that's what I get for surfing the boob tube and the 'net at the same time...

Yep, that's how the surprise was ruined for me, too. Damn the internet.



Must see 'Walk the Line'

I've seen Brokeback five times now, and it deserves all the awards it got.

Must see 'Capote', cause it's widely reputed that P.S. Hoffman deserved to beat out Heath Ledger (who most certainly did not mouth "wtf"). Interestingly, both Best Actor winners (Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman) played real-life characters (as did other nominee David Straithern). Frankly, I give Ledger a bit more points for playing a fictional character ... as there is just too much imitation involved in playing a real person for me to give it full acting props.

Finally saw Brokeback Mountain and while it is very much a damn fine movie (despite the always annoying presence of Jake Gyllenhall) for me it wasn't the best in any particular category except maybe screenplay.

However, it was more than good enough that I am not bothered by it winning anyway (unlike other recent movies that took lots of awards).

I must just weigh in and vote on the terminal hotness that is Jake. Scarf-wrapped poety good looks. *sigh* And second ISM's note about acting v mimicry. My face hurts due to sinusitis so that is all...:D

Quote:

“Mountain” star Heath Ledger, however, was snubbed; Philip Seymour Hoffman won best actor for “Capote.”

“This is unbelieveable,” said Hoffman. (Apparently, Ledger agreed: He mouthed “What the f-ck?” after the loss.)
