I tend to ignore those immature or ignorant who would make such remarks about an actor or actress and the characters they portray in a movie where they play a homosexual role. If they can't see past that issue and resort to making fun of it instead of paying attention to the detail or the part and how well the person was suited to playing it, they aren't worth listening to anyway.

You know, I really never hear that kind of bashing. I mean, I've heard joking, but never bashing. Even me and my friends will make the occasional Brokeback joke, but that's just all in good fun.

At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure both of them get fairly universal praise for the acting they did in that movie.

And yes, Leo is definitely one of the best actors around today.

Hey people could make fun of Ledger all they wanted, but guess who played the most badass villain in superhero movies? Exactly, acting is just acting. Being versatile and still being comfortble in new roles is what makes great actors. That's why leo is one of my favorite actors.

I've been hoping since like 1995 when he did The Basketball Diaries. Then there was Romeo + Juliet, then The Beach, then Gangs of New York and Catch Me If You Can. Then I really thought it to be a very good possibility with The Aviator, but Foxx did damn good in Ray and was just as deserving.

So yea, I've been hoping for a while. He's long overdue (just like Nolan should be getting the Best Director this year....damn Academy). But, Hoover does seem like it could be more Oscar-bait material, so we can keep our fingers crossed and wait to see how it turns out.
