I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
No surprises there. The awards this year were pre-stamped with the name of this movie the moment it's release date was set.
No surprises here, I was not expecting a different outcome. Hollyweird will promote disgusting behavior anywhere, anytime and then reward it big time.
First rule in Hollyweird: Any show or movie portraying homosexuality in a positive light automatically wins multiple self-congratulatory awards.
Any gay drama will win an award. It doesn't even have to be a good movie.
Seriously, I'm not in the least bit surprised that Brokeback Mountain won several Golden Globes.
And I won't be in the least bit surprised if it wins several Oscars.
I can't speak for whether it's a truly good movie or not (acting, screenplay, etc) but I suspect this movie is getting the attention that other movies wouldn't get.
All because of it's pro-gay story angle.
LOL!
I just realized that the only winner I've seen, both TV and movies, was Memoirs of A Geisha which won best score.
I must be out of touch!
What do you expect when most of the judges are butt munchers.
The fact that the Golden Globes are selected and voted on in a vacuum by the foreign press is enough to completely negate their worth. They are meaningless as far as the American public is concerned.
The most depraved woman always wins. "Housewives" could have won for their actresses by portaying them as meth addicts or prostitutes.
But they were in lovvvvvvvvvvvve! (gag me)
If it was not about the act of performing sodomy on one another they WOULD NOT be in lust, how many guys have male friendships, go out ropin, drinking and sit around a campfire talking, all of a sudden become so smitten with one another that they end up in the tent? maybe they were injesting gypsum weed or Payote?
A movie that they can only release in certain liberal markets, then it is refused by some of them, and it is the best? As I understand on top of that they aren't cowboys, they are sheepmen.
Was there any doubt? These are a political statements, nothing to do with reality. Bareback Mountain was a kiss to the behinds of the gay community and nothing more.
The only deserved award was Hugh Laurie for "House". But I hope that the Emmys don't snub Kiefer again for "24" just because the show's producer likes Rush Limbaugh.
The homosexual sheepherder movie was going to win those awards despite it being an especially dull movie.
Some weak guys abuse each other and then spend years cheating on their wives and making moon eyes at each other.
That kind of action makes seconds seem like hours.
But, it was annointed by the gay lobby in hollyweird and not even its being a crappy movie would change its winning globes and oscars. The point, of course, is to propagandize american families -- especially the young.
I can't wait to see the ratings for this waste of air time. I'm sure 24 plummeted them and even during their last hour they were up against The Bachelor.
I am just SOOO HAPPY for HUGH LAURIE!!!!!!!!! For 'HOUSE'. GREAT ACTOR. NICE MAN. Totally deserves any award.
I saw Empire Falls, absolutely loved it, but Paul Newman was on screen for maybe 15 minutes of a 4-5 hour, 2 part film. Best SUPPORTING Actor, maybe--it was a great role that Newman played up, having the time of his life. But the best ACTOR in the film was (politics aside) Ed Harris, who embodied the quiet reserved man, who finally had enough and snaps. All of his understated emotions were written on his face, and he did a great job in the role.
To me, this just says everybody wanted to rush to give Newman one of those "Lifetime Achievement"-type make-up awards, so they can tell their grandchildren about how they voted for him. His performance was not the best lead role, because it wasn't a lead role.
Let's look back at when in Hollywood - men were men, and the women were beautiful and had class. And most had more talent in their little finger that today,s Hollywood elite have in their whole bodies. Did I mention they also love America back then?
