Apologies to anyone who may have already been obsessively tracking the auction of this absolutely breathtaking "Double Oscar" statue commemorating the fine gay cowboy performances of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, but we felt an obligation to take a moment to bask in its golden glory. Like the traditional Oscar, the Brokeback Mountain version has no conspicuously jutting male genitalia, but in a vast evolutionary leap over the Academy's iconic award, this one actually plays the soundtrack from the movie. (Warning: so does the auction page. Loudly. Or at least something that sort of sounds like the soundtrack.) And should Ledger's more celebrated, mumbly turn win him some hardware, this much improved prototype would remind the actor that he couldn't have made it to the podium without the love and support of his co-star.
