Apparently, I am not the only one with Brokeback on the brain… it was just nominated for seven golden globes. SEVEN. Including best picture. I haven’t even seen it yet, and I have goose pimples thinking about it. I can’t wait. But, I did notice that there is no love for Jake. What is up with that? Doesn’t this boy deserve something!? Did they not see Jarhead? That was worth something! I’m just saying.
Other than Brokeback Mountain, there were a lot of other very noticeable nominations, at least to me, that prove you really aren’t risking your career by playing it gay (or transgendered), as it was said in Entertainment Weekly earlier this month. (Hello! Look at Hillary Swank! Nuff said!) The amazing Felicity Huffman was nominated for her role in Transamerica; Cillian Murphy was nominated for his role in Breakfast on Pluto; and the AMAZING Phillip Seymour Hoffman was nominated for his role as Truman Capote in the aptly titled, Capote. So, um, eat that EW; and anyone else that thinks playing a gay or transgendered character could some how harm your career! It pays to play gay (and transgendered)!
I want to wish everyone in those films the utmost success and, while you all can’t win (since you are in the same categories… dammit!), I do thank you for stepping out there and playing gay. It does take courage, and we surely appreciate it! Now if only some smoking hot actor/actress in Hollywood would come out of the closet; I figure since so many are playing, it is time for some to start being!! I’ve got my fingers crossed about a few people…
I wish I knew how to quit you…
