The lead character for which the oscar was won by Matthew was NOT a GAY rodeo rider, rather, he was a wildly promiscuous, drug using hetero who contracted AIDS. But with that out of the way, yes, it appears to be the era of the Black and the Gay.
McConaughey won for best actor in "Dallas Buyer's Club."
To kick off his acceptance speech, McConaughey thanked God for the blessings in his life and then he thanked his family. "First off I want to thank God, because he's the one I look up to, he's graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human kind. He has shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. In the words of the late (British actor) Charlie Laughton, who said, 'When you got God you got a friend and that friend is you.'"
Meanwhile, Cate Blanchett, who won best actress, thanked pervert Woody Allen for her Oscar win.
