What I'd really *love* here is media accolades for Brokeback Mountain.

Thanks!

Brokeback Mountain: Top 10 Film of '06
SMH critics have named Brokeback Mountain as one of their Top 10 films of the year.
It was a film that caused so much controversy before its worldwide release, but ended up being one of the biggest movies this year. Brokeback Mountain won a lot of fans, including the critics of the newspaper Sydney Morning Herald.

In today's edition of the newspaper, Herald critics Sandra Hall and Paul Byrnes were asked to give their best Top 10 films of the year. Brokeback Mountain was the only film to appear on both lists.

Sandra Hall spoke of Heath Ledger's "pacesetting" of Australian actors; "Brokeback Mountain, Candy, and the insouciant Casanova came together to give us an actor whose range should take him just about anywhere he wants to go."

Paul Byrnes rated the film highly; "It's obvious from my list that I think Brokeback Mountain was a better film than Crash and should have won the Oscar."

Take your hat off once more Ennis Del Mar; you have done a wonderful job.

"[Reviewer] Stone gave out two A pluses in '06. The first went to "Brokeback Mountain," which was an '05 movie that didn't come to Northeast Mississippi until '06'"
