"It could very well be the last film standing at this year's Oscars," a top Hollywood producer not buttociated with the film explained from Hollywood. "There was not a dry eye in the house at the screening at Telluride Film Festival in Colorado," says the producer, who asked not to be named out of respect for the cast and crew of the producer's own Oscar contender. "Watch it come out of the gate at the Golden Globes with super controversy." NEW YORK DAILY NEWS critic Jack Mathews predicts the gay cowboy movie, which takes place in Wyoming, may be "too much for red-state audiences, but it gives the liberal-leaning Academy a great chance to stick its thumb in conservatives' eyes." Director Ang Lee's movie staring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger won the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival earlier this fall. But will a movie even Madonna calls "shocking" sit with the heartland?
