So Brokeback picks up 8 oscar nominations

[aidanjm]

will this be the first film with explicit homosexual themes to win a "best picture" Oscar?

at any rate, there's NO excuse not to go see it, now


nominations

 

[Sentinel]

Meh, I think I'll pass.

 

[zoiks]

same here. I'll pass.

 

[RbSX]

Why would I ever want to see a movie about gay cowboys?

 

[shimsham]

ill just watch bravo for my gay fix. besides, ive seen enough gay porno that i think bbm would just be a let down.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Good movie, I'm man enough and secure in my sexuality enough to say so.

Also, Heath Ledger is a lock for best actor.

 

[y2kc]

it'll be snubbed. hyped films often are. it might win 1 or 2. will i see it? love stories do nothing for me.

 

[Rumpltzer]

That movie is like a Western, right?

more of a love story and a tragedy

It was shut out at the SAG awards, and they're the largest block of voters in the Academy.

 

[FoBoT]

Exactly.
I don't find that type of film appealing (nothing to do with the gay aspect, just the overall style of the film/story).
That's excuse enough not to go and see it IMO.

You are thinking of the other Ryan.

Because it also features an Anne Hathaway topless scene?

 

[CellarDoor]

Brokeback was a very good movie, but not best picture quality if you ask me. It was beautifully told and filmed but other than that was simply a relationship movie. It's quite similar to many other relationship movies, except that the two who fall in love happen to be gay. Once again, a very good movie, but not best picture quality.

I've seen all of the nominees and the best picture is clearly Capote. If you haven't had a chance to see it go out and do so. Philip Seymour Hoffman is the runaway for best actor IMO.

It's probably a little bit more than a chick flick, in that it does bring up controversial issues. It also has beautiful scenery in it as well. However it is merely the story of two people who fall in love. They just happen to be male cowboys.
