    Oscars

    Milk just won best original screenplay. I bet most Mormons watching just went "oh shit" after listening to Black's acceptance speech.

      Talked about growing up in a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio and then moved to California where he could be who he was. He didn't say anything offensive IMO. But I'm sure there was a collective grown from most of Utah.

        No, not "oh shit," probably more like, "oh frick." Or maybe, "dag nab it."
        What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

          He said something like "when I was a teen my parents moved me from a conservative Mormon community in Texas to California. When I heard about HM I found hope. Hope that someday I could live like I want to live and perhaps even some day get married." That's a very paraphrased version. He also thanked his mother for always loving him even when there was pressure not to.

            Best acceptance speech so far. The Japanese guy that won for his animation short:

            "Sank you. Sank you. Domo arigato Mr. Roboto."

                              In my opinion, he was that good. He truly earned it.
