Gayness Of Golden Globe

OK, so it wasn’t a total wash, but this year’s Golden Globe nominations are several shades less pink than last year’s (which is only natural, given that last year’s contenders included Brokeback Mountain and Capote). Still there were some gay glimmers on the horizon. Out 100 2006 honoree Sarah Paulson was nominated for her role on TV’s Studio 60, which probably marks the first time a gay person has been nominated for playing a conservative Christian. Judi Dench got a nod for her lesbianesque role in Notes on a Scandal, and Chiwetel Ejiofor got a surprise supporting nom for his drag-a-licious part in the sleeper comedy Kinky Boots. Gay faves Dreamgirls (along with its stars Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, and Eddie Murphy) got nominations, as did the gay-inclusive flicks The Devil Wears Prada and Little Miss Sunshine. On the TV front, Desperate Housewives (along with stars Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman) and Ugly Betty were standouts. But perhaps the gayest nomination of all goes to our favorite eyeliner-wearing pirate, Johnny Depp, for his turn in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel.
