It was supposed to be Brokeback Mountain but what happened was they were told they were going to receive Oscar but they insisted on giving it to Oscar [/b][/quote]:rolleyes: this is very typical and explains too well why this movie was not given a well deserved Oscar.

But in my opinion, I don't think this movie would get half the publicity that it did if it was about 2 straight cowboys. The Gay Community rallied behind it and every tv or talk show had at least 1 gay person come on and talk about how great it is for the gay community and for the world.
