You can find in many interviews at the time would question the actors about whether they were afraid of starring in a gay movie, for fear that it may stifle their careers. In the Ang Lee interview I posted above, he even says: “I’m not their manager. I don’t care if this movie dooms the rest of their careers,” he half-jokes. “All I cared about was that they performed for me." So, yes, if there was a palpable danger of having your career doomed by starring in the movie, then a ''sensible'' actor would avoid it. The movie was not expected to be anywhere near the success it turned out to be, so it would have been far too risky a venture for an actor with something to lose. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 19:23, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

== BAFTA awards ==
From [[User:Sideways]]'s edit comment: ''BAFTAs are a British award & cannot be attributed to Hollywood''. Yes, BAFTAs are a British award, but that has little to do with anything. Sundance is a film festival that doesn't happen in Hollywood, yet it extolls the same values as Hollywood does. The awards (British, American or other) are Hollywood values at work promoting this film to incredible heights. The nitpicking about British awards vs. Hollywood awards is the same exact debate that has come up numerous times on [[Hollywood values]] about British actors vs. American actors. Judgment has been issued on this topic and I won't let that debate spill over here where Andy may not be keeping as close a watch. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 20:25, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
