I've not seen either yet so I can't comment properly.

I would say if I had to put my money on the academy awarding the best picture award to either a movie that deals with racism or homosexuality then the racism wins every time. Hollywood has only recently acknowledged performances by African-American actors because it can't keep it's head stuck in the sand any longer. I think to be honest it will take Hollywood a little longer to deal with homosexuality. Tom Hanks put in an incredible performance in Philadelphia and it was seen as a breakthough in the industry at the time but I guess they have slipped back into conformity.
