MILK at the Oscars

Submitted by on Tuesday, 24 February 2009 – 5:23 PMNo Comment
“Milk” won two Oscars on Sunday: Best Actor for Sean Penn, and Best Screenplay for Dustin Lance Black! 
Check out Black’s acceptance speech. He thanked the people who made the film, told how Harvey gave him hope as a gay teenager, and passed that hope to gay teens today. He mentioned marriage and equal rights in that context. 
Was that too political, or was it appropriate for a film about a gay rights leader?
