Brokeback Mountain enjoys its golden moment
It was a triumphant night for films dealing with homosexuality and transsexuality. Along with the victories for Brokeback Mountain, acting honours 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.
"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.
