TV alerts: Award shows everywhere

the characterization that these two phenomenal films are somehow subpar, or unworthy of our attention, simply because the leads are male. i understand that we are all about celebrating women, particularly lesbian and bi women, in the entertainment industry. however, i do not believe that this excludes us from enjoying a film made up of male leads. i think No Country for Old Men is the best film i have seen in ten years, at least. and one of the most memorable scenes in the film for me is the scene when chigurh and carla jean have their faceoff moment. she refuses to give in to his will, as the others have done throughout the action of the film. her part may have been small, but it was significant enough to stick with people. though There Will Be Blood is certainly not what would normally be considered "enjoyable," it is a tremendous work of art, and daniel day-lewis's performance will likely get the oscar. i love the oscars, and this year will be no exception for me. i guess i had to make my feelings known because this is the second time that these two films have been mentioned in this context, and it has bothered me both times. i don't want to feel like i'm less gay, or less feminist, or whatever, simply because i love these films. anyway, thanks for the heads up on the awards shows!
