What the hell...

That's pretty much what Heath Ledger had to say to himself on Sunday night. After all, he kissed a boy for the sake of his art. What do you think he thought when he first read the script? Surely, he was thinking something like, "Well, I'm straight, but this could be the role of a lifetime, an Academy Award winner." Anyway, we all know he kissed a boy, but a funny thing happened. He didn't win the award.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman won it, and even though he played a gay man, I don't think he had to kiss any boys.

Some times life is funny.

Little known fact: Hoffman was born and raised in my hometown, Fairport, New York. He once described Fairport to that pompous ass James Lipton as being "kinda like Kansas, but it's in New York."

Let's not forget that Phillip Seymour Hoffman played a very gay character in "Boogie Nights", where he lusted after Dirk Diggler, and tried to make out with Dirk in his new Corvette, in the driveway during one of Burt Reynolds's parties.
