kingandyEvery report on the Oscar nominations on Radio 1[1] last night mentioned "Gay Cowboy Movie Brokeback Mountain". Munich was just "Munich", Crash was just "Crash" and Syriana was just "Syriana" (though they did once mention that George Clooney played a spy in it, so I assume it is about spies).
BBC mainstream news, however, has tactfully upgraded it to "Cowboy Romance Brokeback Mountain".
Which actually sounds like a manga, but that's by the way.
