the year of pink film
i've never been one for awards shows, but this year's crop of movies that portray gay, transgendered characters is really a good reason to watch the golden globes. it was amazing that brokeback mountain swept 4 awards (best picture! best director! best song and best screenplay), and transamerica got best actress (felicity huffman) and capote had best actor (phillip seymour hoffman). this was also the year for asians in film - ang lee (for brokeback mountain) and sandra oh (for grey's anatomy). hope this paves the way for the academy awards on mar 5!
just watched transamerica this afternoon - where felicity huffman plays a man who is about to undergo sex change surgery and how he copes with a son who just showed from nowhere. i liked the way she handled the role with great understatement, with no hollywood histrionics thrown in, really adding a lot of realism to the story. and kevin zegers is the male actor to watch. go felicity!
