WHy is HEath a lead and Jake Gyllenhaal a supporting actor? |
|
In Bokeback Mountain, I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was awesome, better than Heath - and the lead character, yet Heath Ledger gets best actor nom?

1. If they were both in the same category |
|
then only one could win. Maybe they put Heath as lead because they though his performance was a stronger contender? :shrug:

BUt we meet and learn more about Jack Twist's family and past that his character is definitly lead material. I really liked the movie.

7. It's actually sort of a toss up. |
|
I loved the movie. Those two actors could say more with a look than lots of actors can say in an entire movie.

9. Ennis (Heath's character) shows up first and is the last seen. |

He is the one who is more torn about what to do about his life and the situation/s in which he finds himself. Jack less so - he acts and makes things happen (remember Ennis has to get drunk?) The movie is mostly from his point of view.

8. Because if Jake would have had top billing... |
|
no one would have been able to take the film seriously, because they would have pictured him as that awful Bubble Boy.
