Among those Weisz beat out was Michelle Williams of the cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain," which is favored for a big night at the Oscars and was the odds-on front-runner for Sunday's best cast performance prize, the guild's equivalent of a best-picture award.

quote:

"Brokeback Mountain" led the guild's film contenders with four nominations. Along with Williams, Heath Ledger was nominated for lead actor and Jake Gyllenhaal was in the running for supporting actor, the two playing cowboys in love.

quote:

Felicity Huffman, the best-actress Oscar front-runner for her gender-bending role in "Transamerica," won the guild prize for best actress in a TV comedy for "Desperate Housewives," which also won for best comedy ensemble. Huffman was up for best film actress for "Transamerica" later in the evening.

I'm just curious about how these nominations work. Because It seems like "Brokeback Mountain" was getting nominations before it was even released.

Is this just more proof of the "Hollywood Left" broadcasting its views, by hijacking the media/entertainment streams?

Why is it that the most morally controversial-liberal shows/movies always get the rave reviews and nominations/awards? Hmmmm....
