Two big Oscar wins

Two wonderful awards at last night's Oscars, both for the movie Milk. Dustin Lance Black won for Best Original Screenplay and Sean Penn won for Best Actor. Both men gave great acceptance speeches, calling for gay equality.

Once Penn won Best Actor I was sure Milk would not win Best Picture. I was right, it went to Slumdog Millionaire. I haven't seen the winner (yet), though this does not seem to be the repeat of three years ago. That's when many gay people thought that Crash won because too many people couldn't bring themselves to vote for Brokeback Mountain. This year it seems most gay people really do think Slumdog Millionaire deserves the win.
