Gay sex scenes on top in poll of film viewers

They were also showered with individual acting gongs, with Portman memorably scooping the Best Actress Oscar over Annette Benning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Williams and then-newbie Jennifer Lawrence.

Jack Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger’s passionate scene in Brokeback Mountain, meanwhile, finished in third place, behind Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. Ang Lee’s 2005 awards season hit was a big game-changer upon its release, with Mark Wahlberg admitting he turned down a leading role because he was “a little creeped out” by its gay theme.
