"It could very well be the last film standing at this year's Oscars," a top Hollywood producer not associated with the film explained from Hollywood. "There was not a dry eye in the house at the screening at Telluride [Film Festival in Colorado]," says the producer, who asked not to be named out of respect for the cast and crew of the producer's own Oscar contender. "Watch it come out of the gate at the Golden Globes with super controversy." NEW YORK DAILY NEWS critic Jack Mathews predicts the gay cowboy movie, which takes place in Wyoming, may be "too much for red-state audiences, but it gives the liberal-leaning Academy a great chance to stick its thumb in conservatives' eyes." Director Ang Lee's movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger won the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival earlier this fall. But will a movie even Madonna calls "shocking" sit with the heartland? Playwright and lifelong Wyomingite tells the STAR-TRIBUNE of Casper this week that she has never encountered a gay cowboy, and doesn't think it's right for Hollywood to portray Wyoming as a state with gay cowboys.

Slightly different angle. I remember a more recent western/comedy with a gay cowboy... Wagons west wih John Candy. I guess it's not all that new an idea.

But since I have not seen any of the recent Oscar winners, it doesn't surprise me. Often the best movies are the ones that only have one copy at the local video store. The Hollywood blockbusters are full of the ideas of Hollywood, which have nothing to do with godliness as far as I can tell. I pray sometimes that God will inspire some director to make more godly films, family films that we can see together. Sometimes it happens. I really liked Narnia and it seems like there may have been another one not too long ago but either my memory is weakening or they just aren't that memorable. God, please raise us up some godly cinematographers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on. And not ahead of time either. BIZARRO UBER ALLES! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
