It would hardly seem fair if this year's Oscars promotional campaign (see above billboard captured by a Defamer reader in the Valley) were playing favorites; yet one look at the art, featuring two meaty, rugged hands firmly grasping their suggestively placed 13.5 inch (mercy!) "trophy" all but screams that the fellas of Brokeback Mountain have got this baby wrapped up. Upon further reflection, however, what may seem like a blatant Brokeback bias is in actuality a representation of the far more inclusive theme of the celebration of that greatest masturbatory display of Hollywood's self-love, the Academy Awards ceremony.
