Why Brokeback lost

I have hoped to avoid covering this topic, but with all the hype in the press, I figure why not. It is even richer because I have never seen the movie, but I have theory anyways Brokeback Mountain didn’t sweep the Oscars, but it didn’t deserve too, not because it was a movie about gay cowboys. It won three awards in recognition for the directing, score, etc, because it was an exceptional movie in those areas. Why didn’t the actors win anything? Because they didn’t deserve to! The role of having to pretend you are something you’re not isn’t a particularly challenging role for an actor to play, and pretending to love someone, since a challenge either… That is way the actors got nothing because they didn’t push the boundaries of their field. You win awards for acting because you pushed the boundaries, not cause did your job even if you did it well. Oh and there are serious politics, but I am sure that had nothing to do with it.
