The buzz built up the following week, when the L.A. Film Critics and the N.Y. Film Critics voted the Western love story Best Picture and Ang Lee Best Director. The two groups have seldom chosen the same picture, but this year, there's seems to be consensus. In between the Broadcast Film Critics Association, the largest (200) group of journalists in the country, announced its nominations and again "Brokeback Mountain" was the leader of the pack.

Then came the big coup, the Golden Globe nominations, announced December 13, in which "Brokeback Mountain" swept the largest (seven) number of nominations: Picture, Director, Screenplay (Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana), Actor (Heath Ledger), Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams), and even the music categories.

After they bid their painful farewells in 1963, Ennis and Jack couldn't restrain themselves during their reunion in 1967.

In the divorce courtroom in 1975, Ennis looked glummer than the rest.

In 1967 Alma witnessed what she considered an illicit kiss between her husband and his lover.

The belief that Hollywood loves nothing more than a minority was given a boost yesterday when the gay cowboy drama "Brokeback Mountain" topped the list of nominations for the Golden Globe awards. The film, made by the genre-hopping director Ang Lee, received seven nominations, including best drama, director, actor, supporting actress, screenplay, score and song.
