Reply #23: Brokeback = The Color Purple?

[fortyfeetunder]

I have this bad feeling this will be the "Color Purple" of 2006...for those who don't remember, this movie, based on a book written by Alice Walker, and Steven Spielberg directed film, starring Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Margaret Avery, Danny Glover, had 9 Oscar nominations but did not win in any of those categories. (I can't imagine it had to do with a predominantly Black cast....)

I want to think the Academy has learned from that outcome.
