Hollywood insiders are predicting a Best Drama Golden Globe nomination and a Best Picture Oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain. Westerns traditionally don't fare well when it comes to Hollywood awards, so what's their secret? Maybe the plot description will shed some light:
An epic love story set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, Brokeback Mountain tells the story of two young men - a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy - who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.Yep, nothing says Hollywood like forbidden gay cowboy love.
I'm sure it'll be every bit as good as "Unforgiven".
Kind of reminds me of the Reverend Horton Heat tune, "Cowboy Love"...
"I wanna go two steppin',
With a good lookin' big black buck,
I want him to come and pick me up in his chevrolet pick-up truck,
And when we're on the dance floor his hat will rise high above,
It's inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love.
Tall of course dark and handsome,
A gentlemen in every way,
A true cow poke in every sense of the word,
We really go to work in the hay.
A bronc bustin' bull ridin' tiger,
Yet peaceful as a dove,
It's inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love,
I know that us as a couple,
Will cause talk but I wouldn't mind,
Those cowboys will be pea green with envy,
When they see his cute behind.
That's why each night by the campfire,
I thank my lucky stars above,
For inter-racial cowboy homo kind of love."
For some reason I keep thinking the name of the movie is Bareback not Brokeback.

Hate to think what the producers would have done with a movie about The Lone Ranger and Tonto.......
