Hi,

 I read this on Truthdig and thought you would find it interesting.

Down to the Wire

OK, the votes are in and now we all, or those of us who care, will have to 
wait till March 5 to find out whether the high water mark of the Year of the 
Queer in Hollywood will have been the nominations sweep by “Brokeback 
Mountain,” Hoffman, Huffman, etc.  In other words, did the Academy voters 
actually mark their ballots for this year’s apparent favorites?  Will the 
foxy stalwarts of cable talk shows be proved wrong again? 

When the Brokeback wave first broke over the industry the predictable 
consensus of the bloviators was that the “gay cowboy” film would bomb once 
it ventured outside the coastal enclaves into the heartland, but that it 
would clean up at that March madness of the lavender left known as the 
Oscars.
