"I think that's an absolute horror," said Brad Bruner, who is a leader in the Golden State Gay Rodeo Association. "It's an outright sign of homophobia in our country. ('Crash') won no awards before this. It makes me sick."The horror, the horror...
He's got to be kidding!

Through their eyes, this is how it's seen. A slight, but neccessary correction:
"It's an outright sign of HETEROphobia in our country. ('Crash') won no awards before this. It makes me sick."

Call the waaahmbulance. These people are almost as bad as those who complained about Brokeback even being nominated without seeing it.

Well yes and no. I don't think the Academy is as left wing as you think it is. Look over a list of Best Picture winners.

"I think that's an absolute horror," said Brad Bruner, who is a leader in the Golden State Gay Rodeo Association. "It's an outright sign of homophobia in our country. If it's a sign of homophobia, it's homophobia in the membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, not the country. Fag.

('Crash') won no awards before this." What does he mean "before this?" The Golden Globes? Big deal. The Academy doesn't march lock-step with anyone.
Also, kudos to the Academy for not rewarding Steven Spielberg for his boring, factually incorrect, and moral wasteland of a film -- Munich.

I was wondering if the statues were going to lavender this year. Hopefully, Looney's was painted red.

"..."It's an outright sign of homophobia in our country. ('Crash') won no awards before this. It makes me sick."... And that's a lie too...I think it won 3 oscars, Best Pic...Original Screenplay...and Achievement in Film Editing.
The SF Chronicle didn't even have the stones to correct the "dude"ette.

"I felt like 'Brokeback Mountain' was a film that brought Americans together over issues of homophobia," said Grant Colfax, who hugged and wept with his partner, Rod Rogers, as the final award of the night went to a movie that instead explored issues of race.

I don't think the Academy is as left wing as you think it is. Look over a list of Best Picture winners. So let me get this straight, while 51% voters selected W in 2004, your suggesting that something close to 51% of the Academy voted for W too? LOL. 65% of the Media votes 'Rat. I think even old Walter Kranktite acknowledged that. Hollyweird has got to be within a few percent of the MSM media. And I bet it around 80%+ vote 'rat.
