Os novos produtores do show da Academia deram um completo espetáculo ao inovar na premiação dos atores colocando 5 ganhadores passados do mesmo premio homenageando os indicados nas respectivas categorias. Em todos os momentos pudemos notar as lágrimas sendo segurados pelos talentosíssimos atores que concorriam esse ano. Hugh Jackman, apresentador da noite, fez uma grande homenagem a vários filmes antigos, em especial aos musicais. Alem disso, os produtores mostraram cenas dos filmes de comedia, romance e ação que rolaram em 2008, gêneros ainda pouco reconhecidos pela academia.
O filme “Milk- A voz da igualdade” ao tratar a vida do primeiro gay assumido que ocupou um cargo político - Harvey Milk - trouxe o assunto da homossexualidade ao palco do Teatro Kodac essa noite. O discurso de Sean Penn foi extremamente engajado no assunto ao apelar para o nome do novo presidente dos Estados Unidos Barack Obama e fazer um apelo ao direito de casamento entre homossexuais.
No entanto, o discurso do jovem roteirista Dustin Lance Black do mesmo filme foi a comoção da noite. Ele contou a historia de como foi apoiado por sua mãe quando criança, e sua esperança de poder se assumir e ser feliz como é ao ouvir a historia de Harvey. Além disso, ele mandou um recado a todos os jovens gays que ainda se sentem oprimidos pelo preconceito que perdura na sociedade. (abaixo segue o discurso do roteirista, que eu tenho certeza que marcou tanto a historia das festas do Oscar quanto da luta dos direitos de igualdade dos homossexuais)
“Oh my God. This was, um. This was not an easy film to make. First off, I have to thank Cleve Jones and Anne Kronenberg and all the real-life people who shared their stories with me. And, um, Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, James Franco, and our entire cast, my producers, Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, everyone at Groundswell and Focus, for taking on the challenge of telling this life-saving story. When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas to California and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life, it gave me the hope to one day live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married.
(He chokes up, audience begins to applaud.)
I want to thank my mom who has always loved me for who I am, even when there was pressure not to. But most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than by their churches or by the government or by their families that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights, federally, across this great nation of ours. (Wild applause from the audience.) Thank you, thank you, and thank you God for giving us Harvey Milk.”
