"A Love That Will Never Grow Old," written by Argentine composer Gustavo Santaolalla and English lyricist Bernie Taupin, was deemed ineligible for an "Original Song" Oscar because its use in Brokeback Mountain  was partially obscured by dialogue.

As the night got colder, Jack got bolder and invited Ennis to warm up inside the tent.

"E" is echoes

Orson Welles once wrote, "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." As humans, we all have the need for love - to find someone who inspires us, comforts us, and fulfills us. And it is that yearning, that desire to create such an illusion, that echoes throughout Ang Lee's adaptation of Annie Proulx's moving short story, "Brokeback Mountain."

When a stranger stared at him as he gagged in the alley, Ennis growled: "What the fuck are you looking at?"

"H" is hardest

"THE first scene Heath Ledger shot was the hardest -- and it’s one of the most wrenching in Brokeback Mountain. Over dishes after a depressing Thanksgiving, his ex-wife, played by his real-life girlfriend, Michelle Williams, confronts him with the knowledge that she knows about his affair with his friend Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. It’s a shocking moment in the film, one in which a lifetime of charades is suddenly dropped and the wounds of both parties exposed.

"'We’re both in our late 30s and 40s [in that scene], and I know the differences are subtle, but if that’s the first thing you’re going to shoot, you have to have the story that happens before already played out in your head,' says Ledger, 26. 'I guess that’s why Ang scheduled it that way, he forced us into studying harder.'"
