Bosh Analysis: Power Bottom ' Jake Gyllenhaal'
In most gay circles, bottoms rarely admit to another bottoms' beauty or ability to please a top. Unfortunately for straight actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, he was just to real as a bottom in Brokeback Mountain. It has come to our attention that Jake Gyllenhaal is being snubbed by critic queens in favor of masculine power top Heath Ledger for the best actor honor. We imagine this nude picture helped Heath Ledger (NSFW) -- we don't want to imagine what this Kiss did. The Ang Lee directed epic, Brokeback Mountain, topped the Golden Globe nominations on Tuesday with nominations in seven categories, including best film drama as reported here earlier (numerous times). The film picked up nominations for director Lee and star Heath Ledger. The New York Film Critics Circle recently awarded the film its awards for best film, best director and best actor, for Heath Ledger. Brokeback Mountain was also shortlisted for score, screenplay and best supporting actress for Michelle Williams reports BBC. Set in Texas and Wyoming, Brokeback Mountain is the romantic tale of two male cowboys from very different backgrounds who meet and fall in love while working together as sheep ranch hands near Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain the summer of 1961. Their lives take different courses, however, with Jack Twist (Gyllenhaal) becoming a rodeo cowboy while Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) remains a ranch hand, and the film follows their lives as they see each other again over the next 20 years. Their relationship is rocky, however, as they must deal with the challenges posed as the intolerance of pre-(and post)-Stonewall rural America rears its ugly, violent head against the two lovers. (Williams plays Ledger's wife; Hathaway plays Gyllenhaal's wife; Quaid plays a ranch foreman.) Joining "Brokeback" on the list for best film drama were "Good Night, and Good Luck," a stylish black-and-white movie directed by George Clooney, Woody Allen's story about British class warfare "Match Point," and two low-budget thrillers, "A History of Violence" and "The Constant Gardener.
The Bosh would like to nominate Jake Gyllenhaal for being so pretty, realistic, and pretending to take Heath's man meat with no preparation. Meanwhile, Perez Hilton reports Jake and his team of advisers are pushing for a Best Oscar nod for his performance in Jarhead, and Universal is prepared to unleash a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign for the film, Gyllenhaal and director Sam Mendes.

Why Jake got jilted at the Globes:
This from 'The Envelope' (http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2005/12/why_jake_got_ji.html)
Mystery solved. It sure looked odd yesterday when the Golden Globes displayed so much love for gay cowboy pic "Brokeback Mountain" (noms in 7 of 11 categories) but none for poor cowpoke Jake Gyllenhaal.
Turns out that the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. qualification committee insisted on putting Jake in the lead-actor race instead of supporting, which is the category he's campaigning for at the Oscars and other kudos.
The contest for best drama actor was so packed this year that the Globes couldn't find room for Viggo Mortensen ("A History of Violence"), Tommy Lee Jones ("Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada"), Ralph Fiennes ("The Constant Gardener"), Jonathan Rhys Myers ("Match Point") or Eric Bana ("Munich") either.
With so many great leads to choose from, it seems the category couldn't squeeze in a supporting star — regardless of how much they love him in his Stetson and chaps.
