After accepting his
Oscar
as Best Director for Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee expressed his
appreciation
to Annie Proulx, Diana
Os
sana and Larry McMurty for creating Ennis and Jack.
"I want to thank two people who don't even exist," he said, "except for the artistry of Annie Proulx, Diana
Os
sana and Larry McMurtry. Their names are Ennis and Jack." Those characters, he said, taught us about great love itself." "I made this film right after my father passed away, and more than any other, I made this film for him."

Those
estimating
the odds of winning the
Oscar
for Best Picture in 2006 gave a big advantage to "Brokeback Mountain;" however, many l

t their shirts on that wager.

In 2006, BBM won
Oscar

on the cake, but that cake fell.
