Awards Continue To Pile Up For Gay Cowboy Film
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon05/12/121205brokeback.htm

The New York Film Critics Circle became the latest group to name the cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain as the year's top film, while the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures gave its best-picture award Monday to Good Night, and Good Luck, George Clooney's depiction of Edward R. Murrow's on-air battles against Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Both groups selected Ang Lee as best director for Brokeback Mountain, in which Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal play cowboys who find forbidden, unexpected love in Wyoming during the summer of 1963.
"Brokeback was an old-fashioned romance that also fulfilled the group's impulse to be daring and original," said Gene Seymour, film critic for Newsday and president of the New York Film Critics Circle. "It combines the best of both these elements."


I see great things ahead for this movie

I wouldn't be surprised if both stars are nominated for Oscars

1. I'm waiting until the really important nominations come in ...
... like maybe Focus on the Family or American Family Association can nominate "Brokeback" for Film Most Likely to Seduce Innocent Young Minds into a Perverted Sodomitical Lifestyle and Cause Them to Burn in the Fires of Enternal Damnation For All Eternity.
:rofl:

5. Oh, it's only because
it's been a while since Fantastic Four came out, and everyone's forgotten.

6. Chris Evans (Johnny Storm) in blue spandex?
or when he burned off his clothes while skiing in F4 and landed in a pool of melted snow? Uh, no, I didn't forget.
