"Tom Hanks' Oscar for Philadelphia "
Yeah. Well, Hanks is always good. I thought Denzel Washington was the best actor in the film. But why the heck we were supposed to think the law firm was evil for firing somebody with yucky sores all over his face, I'm not sure. Not exactly a rainmaker look. Oh, well.
I totally agree. I lived two blocks from the site where they filmed it, and went up there to get autographs. Still thought the message of the movie was completely unrealistic gay propaganda, especially the scene where he is happily ensconsed in his family of origin with his gay lover and a big fat case of AIDS, holding his weeks-old infant nephew. Give me a break. When one of my employees had AIDS, not even the doctors and nurses would get near him.
