It was obvious that Brokeback Mountain was an attempt by Hollywood to force the gay agenda down the throat of mainstream America. After months of hoopla, winning best picture would have sealed the deal for decades to come, giving the movement a crowning achievement.
I guess someone forgot to tell the academy:
" Everyone watching knew this was a chance for the Academy to take a stand on what is arguably one of the most controversial issues of our time. Battles are being fought at ballot boxes, in courtrooms, schools and homes all around the country. Sunday night offered a chance for Hollywood to weigh in with their support.
Up until Jack Nicholson opened that envelope virtually everyone -- even the Las Vegas odds-makers, felt it a near certainty Hollywood do just that.
But at the last second, the Oscar voters blinked"
