The fact that Dustin Lance Black will &#8212; at least for the time being &#8212; be better known for his sexual activities than for his Milk screenplay says more about our society (or societies, since the thing has gone global) than about Black himself, whose sex life &#8212; with or without condoms; with or without a camera &#8212; should be his business and nobody else&#8217;s.
Some have tried to turn the online leak of Black&#8217;s sex photos into something of momentous importance for gay rights, the spread of HIV, etc. In truth, except for Black and his sex partner those photos are irrelevant. Really, will anyone now decide to fight against marriage equality simply because of Black&#8217;s sexual life? Will gay [...]]]></description>

Josh Brolin in Milk

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Josh Brolin (Milk)
  Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder)
Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt)
Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire)
Though about as much a lead in The Dark Knight as Christian Bale, Heath Ledger is (almost) for sure the one who&#8217;ll win the best supporting actor Oscar come next February.
Philip Seymour Hoffman should get included  for Doubt and Robert Downey Jr. for his politically incorrect actor in Tropic Thunder.
Of the extensive supporting cast in Milk, Josh Brolin is the most likely contender, while Dev Patel, who apparently supports himself in Slumdog Millionaire, should also make the cut thanks to his film&#8217;s popularity.
Runners-up:  Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon), as much a lead as Frank Langella, is being [...]]]></description>

&#160;

Michael Sheen, Frank Langella in Frost/Nixon

BEST FILM
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
  Frost/Nixon
  Milk
  Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire has to be there. It&#8217;s been winning nearly every film critics&#8217; award in the United States and it has received two SAG Award nominations: best ensemble and a surprising best supporting actor nod for Dev Patel (who, ahem, happens to be the film&#8217;s lead). 
Frost/Nixon is a prestige production based on a prestige play. The sort of stuff prestige-hungry Academy members tend to go for even when reviewers haven&#8217;t been all that kind. Also, Frost/Nixon is an actors&#8217; showcase, and actors comprise the &#8212; by far &#8212; largest contingent among Academy members. (Note: Initially, I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Twentieth Century Fox’s The Day the Earth Stood Still destroyed its competition at the North American box office with US$31 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. 
Scott Derrickson’s critically panned remake of the 1951 sci-fi thriller directed by Robert Wise opened at 3,560 locations this weekend, landing at the No. 1 spot early Friday. The film stars Keanu Reeves as an alien who comes to Earth to warn humankind of its potentially imminent destruction. 

Last week’s box office champion, Four Christmases, dropped to second place, earning $13.2 million for a domestic total of $87.9 million after a strong three-week run. Starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn (above, with Sissy Spacek), the holiday comedy follows a couple paying [...]]]></description>
