Well, surprise! surprise! surprise!
Any efforts by Hollywood actors to prove to those in Bumblefuck Eqypt, Alabama that they are not all homosexuals was poo-pooed for another year today.
Four actors have been nominated for playing gay characters. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal got nominated for their work in Brokeback Mountain. Phillip Seymour Hoffman got a nomination for his work as Truman Capote and Felicity Huffman got a nomination for playing a man, yes, a man who wants to be a woman in TransAmerica.
Today's nomination came as no shock to anyone, except for those wondering why Wedding Crashers was snubbed.
I must admit I am glad to see that the Best Picture nominations included movies that had messages rather than safe plot shit like The Full Monty, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, Forrest Gump, and Chicago.
It's cold-blooded killers, gay cowboys, Los Angelesans who are angry at those of different color and race, Isrealis killing people, and McCarthyism communist witch-hunting. This has got to be one of the most politicial Academy Awards races in years. No cute little puppy dog stuff here. No talking pigs, and best yet, no Harvey Weinstein.
I'm just mad that they go no nods to The 40-Year-Old-Virgin. What's the matter Academy?
