The plot line is the ONLY reason it was nominated. McConaughey got the oscar ONLY because he played a gay hater who got aids. And no one knows what ever happened to the guy. In fact, most of the story about him hating gays was “artistic license”.
I saw Dallas Buyers Club. I thought MM did a good job. He really looked like he had AIDS. Plus it was a pretty well documented true story.
Moonlight is supposedly true.... but who knows?
