Frank DeCaro
Should Win: Felicity Huffman - "Transamerica"
Will Win: Reese Witherspoon - "Walk the Line"
"[Huffman’s] portrayal of Bree the transsexual, was really an amazing performance. It’s a good film, but it’s a great performance."

 

Best Actor

Ellen Huang
Should Win: Heath Ledger - "Brokeback Mountain"
Will Win: Philip Seymour Hoffman - "Capote"

Should Win & Will Win: Ang Lee - "Brokeback Mountain"
"It’s tough to do an effective melodrama these days, not to mention a queer one. Lee pulled it off. Besides Lee has been queer friendly throughout his career. Give him an Oscar already!"
