It's a sweeping Western with tough cowboys, telling a time-tested love story that's simply about unrequited feelings. On the other hand, it shows two men having intercourse, which is a first for a mainstream Hollywood film. That's what has people talking.

The idea of taking this very modern 21st century story of tender love between two cowboys and putting it into the time period of an old Western opens up the floodgates for telling jokes. Comedians can't resist because we all know what a cowboy movie is and this challenges it.

As long as he's in a Cowboys uniform, if he does the celebration on the star, they'll love him for it.

The only way you can win is to get your movie seen.

I'd like to thank everyone I worked with on the movie. My makeup man, who had a lot to work with. My hairdresser ... At least acknowledge the important people who helped you win.

A lot of the people who watch the Academy Awards don't go to movies. So what's on stage is the only performance of yours they're going to see.
