I also wonder if "Brokeback Mountain" is fading, but I think there will be a double backlash. It's only the beginning of February and already the gay panic jokes are boring and beyond hacky. Those who speak "for the Heartland" (why am I capitalizing that?) say that Hollywood will stop at nothing to insult their values, promote an agenda, ad nauseum. Hollywood, with nothing on its mind but money, might begin to resent all the hectoring and stick with "Brokeback Mountain." I'm pulling for that or "Crash." I also hope that George Clooney gets something for his relentless good cheer, common sense, and palpable enjoyment of being a movie star.
