"Brokeback Mountain" wins four Golden Globe Honors
63届金球奖波澜不惊《断背山》满载而归
Director Ang Lee holds up his award for Best Director -
Motion Picture for "Brokeback Mountain" at the 63rd Annual Golden
Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California January 16,
2006.
George Clooney won the
supporting-actor Golden Globe on Monday for the oil-industry thriller
"Syriana" and Rachel Weisz earned the supporting-actress prize for the
murder thriller "The Constant Gardener."
Their wins solidify their prospects for the same honors at the Academy
Awards.
The cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" led the Golden Globes on Monday
with four prizes, including best dramatic film and the directing honor for
Ang Lee.
It was a triumphant night for films dealing with homosexuality and
transsexuality. Along with the victories for "Brokeback Mountain," acting
honors went to Felicity Huffman in a gender-bending role as a man
preparing for sex-change surgery in "Transamerica" and Philip Seymour
Hoffman as gay author Truman Capote in "Capote."
"I know as actors our job is usually to shed our skins, but I think as
people our job is to become who we really are and so I would like to
salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived
on the margins to become who they really are," Huffman said.
The Johnny Cash biography "Walk the Line" won the Globe for best
musical or comedy film and earned acting honors for stars Joaquin Phoenix
and Reese Witherspoon.
Director Lee's "Brokeback Mountain," the story of two rugged Western
family men (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) concealing their affair, has
emerged as a front-runner for the Oscars - which occasionally have handed
out top acting prizes for performers in homosexual or gender-bending roles
but have never given the best-picture Oscar to a gay-themed film.
Oscar nominations come out Jan. 31, with the awards presented March 5.
"Brokeback Mountain" also won for best screenplay and song, "A Love That Will Never Grow
Old."
