The films that win Best Picture tend to be on the conservative side (ROTK, A Beautiful Mind, Gladiator, Braveheart, Forrest Gump...)

Perhaps so, but the Academy Awards broadcast is nothing more than a 3 hour platform to push agendas and attack honorable and decent people. And since "Brokeback Mountain" will be taking all of the awards in 2007, I can only wonder if the show will be taking place in San Francisco?

How quickly people forget that ten years, ago, the Academy was accused of excessive conservatism for awarding Best Picture to Forrest Gump instead of Pulp Fiction (even though Tarantino is just about the most apolitical director alive)in 1994 and for nominating Braveheart and Apollo 13 for Best Picture but overlooking Dead Man Walking and Leaving Las Vegas in 1995.
