How does Heath Ledger's performance in Brokeback Mountain deserve an Oscar nomination? (I'm truly baffled)

Is it me or did Heath sound like Billy Bob Thornton from Slingblade?\nThat movie sucked and no I am not a homophobe.\nI think people who have voted for it are just trying to be "PC".

I think it's a good movie..  it's sad and sometimes slow, but overall good.  and hey, you get to watch heath ledger and jake gyllenhaal make out, watch it!  :))

Crash was a better movie.  I think as much as Brokeback wanted to make a statement about gay romance, most of the country as well as the Academy isn't comfortable with a premise that is so anachronistic.  \n\nAnd Crash addressed a topic that MORE people can relate too in a setting that is very very much like real life.\n\n"Capote" was a better movie than Brokeback mountain and it got the awards it deserved.  Its almost as if Ang Lee said "Hmm let's take the least gay icon in American History and make it gay."  PLUS...it really looked more like an essay on bi-sexuality and lust, rather than the charming love story every other sheep out there bleats it out to be.

It will be voted movie of the year.  As for big ben, it was a great symbol of the whole movie.  IT WAS AWESOME

It's an amalgam of the Lazy Sunday rap (video) and Brokeback Mountain trailer (audio).\n\nIt's pretty pointless.

3-Six Mafia REALLY made me mad! I'm not even black--and I WAS OFFENDED! I thought Dolly or Bird's songs were more artistic and beautiful, and it angered me! Aside from them--I don't think George Clooney really acted that well in Syriana. Besides being one of the lonely people that DID see it, I also saw Brokeback Mountain; and while I don't exactly agree with the movie--Jake did a better job acting than George. Totally off the subject--but I was also excited to see CRASH win over BBM, too! FINALLY--a movie that questions the hard issues with a REAL message wins the award! Kudos to them!

Scorsese is more than deserving of an Oscar.  All his movies are masterpieces and the ones made 30 years ago are just as good when you watch them now, and stand the test of time, particularly "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore".

Thank God someone actually said Shawshank.\n\nI was reading all the responses and was absolutely shocked that I wasn't seeing this masterpiece in any lists.

Priceless stuff indeed! You just referenced one of my favorite movies ever! Good taste....:)\n\nNow for my choice! I always wanted to be "Vicky Vale" in Batman.....but nahhh. I'd sooooo love to be Mary in "There's Something About Mary." But I just don't think I could handle the big fight scene at the end. I would sooooooo love to be Princess Buttercup, but that would be me stealing your movie. *sigh* I think someone like Norma Rae or Erin Brokovich would be tres cool! But then again, I happen to have respect for life and I suppose my inner "rebel" wouldn't be as strong as they are in the movie. Could I be "Mary Poppins?" She's strong and nurturing at the same time. Yeahhhh.........gotta love her!! There there is Danielle in "Ever After." She's got strength, loyalty, kindness, and honor.....And the ending is amazingly for all that are deserving. She gets the prince, maintains her dignity, has shown strenth and loyalty and is loved by her friends (and of course the Prince.) I suppose we all hope life will end.....happily "Ever After." So I choose...Danielle!

SORRY BUT PANDERING TO THE HYPE, WRONG WORD PERHAPS!! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IT WAS A FILM MADE WITH AN EYE ON THE BOX OFFICE. WELL SHOT PRESENTED BUT PURELY HYPOTHETICAL, AND IT STILL LEFT ME WONDERING \n\nTOO MUCH EMPHAISE ON THE WHOLE SCENARIO OF THAT HORRIBLE DAY AND DARE I SAY IT PERHAPS THE FILM COMPANY WAS CASHING IN!!!!

My guess: it wasn't political.  There are so many awards, and so much coverage especially in Los Angeles, that people got tired of Brokeback Mountain winning everything, and tired of people saying Brokeback Mountain was a shoe-in, so they said "I'll vote for something else Iliked just to show support."  And then it won.  Backlash against Brokeback Mountain's status as front-runner.

There are few that seem to care about it anymore. Ang Lee is very good. I'm thinking about Sense and Sensibility and Brokeback Mountain. He has a way of making things very simple. Terrance Malick is also a master. I am also a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan. As a writer he needs to branch out. But visually he is already there. He uses color and space beautifully.
