I have yet to see this movie, however I am very eager to. I keep hearing the rave reviews and how touching the story is. I'm not interested in the fact that it is about two gay cowboys. If it were about a straight couple I would feel the same way. I've been waiting for a movie that moves me and I hope this one is it. I do not deny that the controversial issues surrounding this film hasn't brought in more revenue, but I think there is more to it. Its a story about love and longing. Who doesn't like a story about love? Love is the same gay or straight.

I, for one, have not seen this movie. However, it almost seems to me as if you don't want to see it just because it's getting so much attention. I don't think that this movie would be getting all of these nominations and excellent reviews if it was only because there are gay cowboys in it. That doesn't make any sense. It might have helped that it is a controversial issue, and this movie could have been somewhat of a risk to everyone's careers involved, so the fact that they pushed on and made it can be seen as a success in its own. Basically, I don't think that you should judge this until you have seen it. It could end up being your favorite movie

I have to say I haven’t seen the movie but I would really like to see it. I really don’t think the reason it got 8 nominations was because there were 2 gay cowboys in the movie. I believe they got the nominations because the actors were very impressive. You can also have a good picture film and not be the very best written film of the year. It’s all about how the actors portray themselves on screen and how the dialogue is presented. And if you are going to judge a winner of an Oscar by what has one before, that’s just wrong because not every Oscar winner has been a good movie...in my opinion. So by judging it by the fact that it’s about 2 guys falling in love is why our country is the way it is now full of hate and prejudices.

I haven't watched the movie yet so i couldn't really say much about it. As far as the content of the movie is concerned it's like saying don't judge a book by it's cover. I guess if you are feeling the movie didn't really deserve the nominations it received you should go and watch the movie first. Who knows, it might just surprise you. Not always do movies get nominations just because the characters are gay in the movie. Maybe there's just something about the movie that is very appealing to everyone thus the reeason for it receiving 8 nominations.
