A lot of people are suggesting the story of gay cowboy love "Brokeback Mountain" was the big winner at last night's Golden Globe awards, capturing awards for Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Song, but I would beg to differ. The biggest winner of the evening was there in spirit at the very least, although he didn't appear on-stage to collect any hardware for his trophy case in spite of the fact he deserved more than a little credit for what took place!
Not only did the liberal elite of Hollywood, acting on behalf of the evening's biggest winner, thoroughly reward "Brokeback Mountain" for its overt message that it's okay to thumb one's nose at the Most High God in terms of our sexuality, the Golden Globe awards had a number of other "special moments" as well.
In the category of Best Foreign Language Film, the winner of the Golden Globe was "Paradise Now", a movie wherein one of the favorite topics of the evening's biggest winner was addressed - suicide bombings against innocent people AKA cold-blooded murder. See what reviewers are saying about that gem of a film, both good and bad, at RottenTomatoes.com where the film, when I last looked, was receiving an astounding positive review rate of 88%!
In the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama, the winner of the Golden Globe was Philip Seymour Hoffman, who portrayed gay author Truman Capote in the film "Capote."
In the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama, the winner of the Golden Globe was Felicity Huffman who starred in the gender-bending film "Transamerica" as a man preparing to have sex-change surgery.
The Best Motion Picture - Drama was the story of gay cowboy love, "Brokeback Mountain."
The Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama was won by an actor who portrayed a homosexual.
The Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama was won by an actress who portrayed a man planning to become a woman.
The Best Foreign Language Film was a movie about two suicide bombers, a film which Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat of Spirituality & Health describe as follows, in part: "...screenwriters Hany Abu-Assad and Bero Beyer and director Abu-Assad have come up with a riveting thriller about two Palestinian friends who have been chosen to perform a suicide bombing mission in Tel Aviv in forty-eight hours."
