     Dustin Lance Black
Movie Buzz The Milk screenwriter may be 2009's Diablo Cody, in terms of both Oscar wins and nudity. Dustin also writes Big Love, so he's got that to fall back on if the Oscar doesn't happen. But it probably will, because hot writers are really in right now.

     In accepting his two WGA awards, Dustin Lance Black definitely took the thing in a political direction (which I think is smart and right), according to TL Stanley at the Hollywood Reporter’s Gold Rush:

Black, who won one of the night’s top honors for his original screenplay for “Milk,” also picked up the Paul Selvin Award for work “that embodies the spirit of constitutional right and civil liberties.”  He asked his fellow writers to join him in advocating for federal protection, not just for gays but for all groups that face discrimination. “We still have a long way to go for equal rights for everyone in this country.”
His speech, emotionally delivered and punctuated by a standing ovation from the assembled industryites, had a strong anti-Prop 8 message: No more of this state-by-state stuff. If there are ever to be equal rights for the gay community, he said, it will have to come from the federal level.

    ‘Milk’ screenwriter Dustin Lance Black wins Oscar.»
At tonight’s Academy Awards, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for “Milk,” the story of California’s first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk. Black — who was wearing a White Knot for marriage equality — spoke about how Milk inspired him:

BLACK: When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas, to California, and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life; it gave me the hope that one day I could live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married. […]

Most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by their churches, or by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value. And that no matter what everyone tells you, God does love you, and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.

Black’s speech was greeted by loud applause. Watch it:

       Milk Scribe Dustin Lance Black Wins First Oscar
Milk scribe Dustin Lance Black took home his first Oscar for Best Original Screenplay Sunday night, taking the opportunity to make a political statement on same-sex marriage with a moving acceptance speech.

"When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas to California and I heard the story of Harvey Milk," Black said, choking back tears. "And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life, it gave me the hope to one day live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married.

If Harvey Milk were alive today, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian children out there who have been told that they are less than by their churches or by the government or by their families that you are beautiful wonderful creatures who have value. No matter what anybody tells you, God does love you and that very soon you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.”

Black said hearing the story of Harvey Milk was a "lifesaver."

Milk was all but shut out of the Golden Globes last month. The film, one of the year’s best reviewed, managed to score only one nomination -- for Sean Penn. Just three years before, Brokeback Mounatin took home four Golden Globes, including Best Picture.

But in an upset, on Oscar night, Brokeback lost to Crash for Best Picture. Director Ang Lee did take home the gold for Best Director, but many in the gay community suggested the loss might be due to a "homophobic" Academy.

Milk trailed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Slumdog Millionaire in overall nominations, though pre awards show predictions had Milk running neck in neck with those films in several categories.

Black went into Sunday night’s ceremonies the favored winner for penning Milk’s screenplay. (Advocate.com)

If you weren't already in love with Oscar-winning screenplayer writer Dustin Lance Black, you will after watching his appearance on Friday's episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.  He discusses what Oprah told him at a party a few days before the Oscars to calm his nerves as well as how he prepared for what to say to a billion people. And kudos for Oprah to showing millions more Dustin's moving words about Harvey Milk's legacy.
