Gay Cowboys Gallop To Oscars With 7 Golden Globe Nods

The cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" led Golden Globe contenders Tuesday with seven nominations, among them best dramatic picture and honors for actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams and director Ang Lee.

The Golden Globes are considered a clue into how the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will vote in the Oscars.

Two years ago, the Golden Globes correctly predicted winners in all key Oscar categories. However, a year ago, the Globes missed the mark, picking The Aviator as best picture, an honor that went to Million Dollar Baby at the Oscars.

The Globes are handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Winners will be announced Jan. 16, five days before polls close for Oscar voters.

Freeper heads exploding!!

Brokeback Mountain is giving a whole new meaning to "cowpoke" ...

I always thought it was odd that people so seldom wondered about cowboys who spent so much time in the company of other men. Guess they just thought they saved up all that horniness for those dancehall girls when they got to town once a month. I mean, those guys were out there with nothing but each other and the cows ... so if those are you only choices it seems obvious what would happen under those lonesome stars around a camp fire at night. The fact that the fundies and assorted right-wingnuts are shocked by the idea of two guys jumping into the same bedroll seems to indicate that they'd be more comfortable with the livestock.
