"It could be the gay Oscars this year because gay-themed movies could win almost all the major awards," said Tom O'Neill, show business awards columnist for The Envelope.Com., referring to the sudden dominance "Brokeback Mountain" has gained so early in the race.

Fine, then the left can find out what it's like to have the lowest-rated Oscars ever. The movie is playing in few dozen carefully chosen theaters, I have a feeling it will be a major shock to Hollywierd when "flyover country" totally ignores it.

[wagglebee]

Homosexual agenda ping.

[Hodar]

And they wonder why viewship dropping faster than a Prom dress.

[Ruth A.]

I was thinking, And they wonder why Oscars ratings have gone down through the years. They shoot horses, don't they?

[Howie66]

This is a hoot!

Here you have the Hollywood knobs wondering why their theatre take is lower than it's been in years, and then they trow some crap like "Broked**k Mountain" at us over the CHRISTMAS SEASON....

Are these people REALLY that Stuck On Stupid?

Give me a break!!

I don't think the faggots there would care. They got defeated last year over the gay marriage issue, so this is their consolation prize. Let them have a faggot-fest on TV and we will send them a message by not tuning in at all.

[SubMareener]

a drama of love between cowboys Apparently it is really a story about sheepherders, not cowboys.

[keithtoo]

I'm gonna watch the Oscars to see if the cowboy from the Village People gets his lifetime achievement award.

[Neoliberalnot]

Just another reason to avoid the most disgusting porn/pervert-hustlers on the planet. Maybe they will make a movie about the gay man having sex with the stud horse in the Seattle area and call it the love affair between Will and Trigger. Actually, Trigger really did break this perverts back.

[msnimje]

Well, Just LOOK at him!

[SAMS]

And this surprises who??

[keithtoo]

12-days in release. Barely $4M in gross receipts. 69 theaters. What a laugh.

And just who decides who wins Oscars and for what reason. It always seems to be just some sort of pompous circle-jerk to me.

[Mike Darancette]

Artsy Fartsy pudding eating homosexual cowboy movies do not put butts in the seats.

[eeriegeno]

Sorry, I have no interest in Breakback Mountain. Maybe they can muster up enough support in SanFran to make this movie a hit......

[rbg81]

I wonder who they're going to get to host the Oscars this year? Is Big Gay Al booked? That being said, I have no doubt that Brokedick Mountain will sweep the awards--Hollywood just can't help itself.

[manwiththehands]

It's typical Hollyweird.

Viewership is dropping like a stone so they figure the best way to respond is with an in-your-face movie about fudge-packing sheepherders.

[Colonel_Flagg]

even though it is only in 69 theaters,

Should I? No, I think I'd better not.

[xzins]

I never watch the oscars and could care less.

Long, boring show.

[BonnieJ]

Who will the host be this time? Not that I'll watch it, there isn't a single movie in their list of "top ones" that sounds any good at all. Munich is distorted too, unfortunately. There was a chance to tell a story that could enlighten us all but they don't understand "fact based" any more. Except "The Great Raid"...Anyone here see that one? Very good! World War II, no exploitation at all, just the story.

[Cicero]

Many experts predict that "Brokeback's" toughest competition could come from either George Clooney's "Goodnight, and Good Luck," a steely-eyed examination of the McCarthy era, or "Munich," Steven Spielberg's study of the price Israel paid for its reprisals for the murder of its athletes at the 1972 Olympics.

Oh, goodie. The three worst movies of the year. But frankly I think this guy is smoking something. Hollywood may be nuts, but when it comes to Oscar time I think a lot of professionals will vote their pocket books. Voting for smalltime loser movies just doesn't make economic sense.

Of these three movies, only "Munich" has a chance to do well at the box office. I hope it bombs, but with Spielberg at the throttle it may do well in spite of its vicious message.
