    • Solid job, brother. And a very good topic. Do you think that a gay actor or actress HAS won an award but because of the climate surrounding them remained, and still remains, quiet about their lifestyle or orientation? How interesting would that follow up story be? Do you think any past winners over the years kept quiet IN ORDER to win an award or stay marketable? Keep your camera prepped. I've heard stories...

    • You have a very valid point, and you express it quite well. I could see this pod as a piece on E! or Entertainment Tonight (if those shows had any balls). Nice pace. Thanks!
