Dustin Lance Black talks to Matthew's Place

Matthew's Place has a nice interview up with Oscar-winning screenwriter of 'Milk', Dustin Lance Black.

He talks about growing up gay and Mormon, testifying in front of the California State Senate, and the legacy of Harvey Milk.

He does not talk about his recent naked photo scandal.

Although, when you look that good naked, it's hardly a scandal.

Check it out.

Sean Penn nabs SAG award for 'Milk'

Sean Penn keeps piling up the awards for 'Milk'.

We'll see how he does at the Oscars on Feb. 22.

Crying over spilled 'Milk'

Unbelievable!

At least Sean Penn got a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in 'Milk', but Gus Van Sant's masterpiece got no nod for best picture, and Van Sant didn't make the best director list.

Is it just me?

Am I just biased or should this film not have blown away the competition?

I guess now we just wait for the Oscars. Congrats to Penn, who deserves to rack up the statues for his incredible portrayal.

And two thumbs way down to the Globes for not recognizing Van Sant's genius.
