Jeez, I have DSL and the thing loads slower than a cap and ball Colt.  Did they actually show Jack and Ennis kissing in the movie clip?  ???

Yes, indeedaly doodaly, they did.  I was wicked impressed that they showed *all* of the clip, in fact.  i.e., from Ennis hearing Jack drive up in the pick-up through to Alma discovering them together.
No more beans!

I am not surprised it only got two nominations. After doing some research via IMDB, I've collected that whenever they nominate serious Oscar contenders like this movie, they usually only give it one or two nods (i.e., Boys Don't Cry, Million Dollar Baby, Monster). Granted, they gave Titanic and Pulp Fiction awards for Best Movie but those films were very different from my examples above (and Brokeback).

I voted for it a few times just to support the movie but that site is so slow. And the Mtv awards really aren't imporant anyways; they're just light entertainment... I still think Brokeback is above every award there but that's just me.
If you'd just realize what I just realized then we'd be perfect for each other and we'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now

I don't know if it's been mentioned, or if everyone knows, but apparently you have to vote in all categories for your votes to count.
I've learnt that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in!
