Golden Globe Awards: "Brokeback Mountain" Has Won Four Trophies The movie simply made the difference for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association...	By Adina Gheorghe, Entertainment Editor 17th of January 2006, 09:44 GMT Adjust text size:

The frustrated romance of "Brokeback Mountain" seduced the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which awarded the movie four trophies on Monday at the 63rd annual Golden Globe Awards, including 'best motion picture drama' and 'best director'. But while Focus Features' "Brokeback" was the evening's undisputed leader, it didn't dominate the proceedings, as on the musical side of the ledger, 20th Century Fox's Johnny Cash saga "Walk the Line" was nearly as satisfied, picking up three awards, including 'best motion picture'. As for the television contests, ABC cleaned up with drama and comedy series wins for "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," respectively, in addition to acting nods for "Commander in Chief" starring Geena Davis and "Grey's Anatomy's", starring Sandra Oh, as dr. Cristina Yang. Best dramatic acting honors went to the Huffman juggernaut, as Felicity Huffman was named best dramatic actress for embodying a man in the process of becoming a woman in "Transamerica" and Philip Seymour Hoffman was named best actor for playing Truman Capote in "Capote." Cheered on by her "Desperate Housewives" castmates, Huffman thanked "Transamerica's" writer-director, Duncan Tucker, for creating the character of Bree, a transgendered person connecting with her past. "Duncan Tucker wrote a film about coming home to your family and your community and ultimately to yourself," she said. "I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived on the margins to become who they really are." Jamie Foxx, who was honored last year as best actor in a musical for his performance in "Ray," passed the musical baton to Reese Witherspoon for her turn as Carter. "My husband just hit me so hard I almost fell over," Witherspoon said as she took the stage after getting an enthusiastic send-off from husband Ryan Phillippe. Of the Southern-inflected musical drama, she said, "This film is really important to me. It's about where I grew up. It's about the music I grew up listening to."
