So who didn't know that they'd give the "Best Picture" award to any nominee other than 'Brokeback Mountain'?
A realistic portrayal of the inner and outer turmoil experienced by two men struggling with their love for each other as it stands in stark opposition to the rigid societal expectations of what it means to be a "man"?? In our current political climate, I'd have eaten my hat if it had won.
With all the talk of "Liberal Hollywood," the people casting their votes for the Oscar Awards aren't truly progressive. They played it as safe as possible while trying to appear as if they're actually forward-thinkers.
