Last night at the Golden Globe awards, Brokeback Mountain won four prizes, including best drama. Star Heath Ledger didn’t win best actor, however, despite a nomination; that honor went to Philip Seymour Hoffman for his portrayal of gay writer Truman Capote. In the best dramatic actress category, Felicity Huffman won for her role as a MTF transsexual.
Quite the sweep for GLBT films. Unfortunately, there were no lesbian films or actors nominated this year. (The closest we got was Geena Davis, who won the dramatic actress TV award for playing the first female president. Not a lesbian role or actor, but a strong female character, which I appreciate regardless.) Anyone up to the challenge for next season?
