The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation ( GLAAD ) celebrates the success of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ( LGBT ) inclusive films and television shows at the 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. Brokeback Mountain won four honors, including Dramatic Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Original Song.
'This is yet another victory in Brokeback Mountain's growing list of accomplishments. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, like most critics, recognized the emotional authenticity of this film and its power to connect with both gay and straight audiences alike,' said GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano. 'The critical and award-winning success of movies like Brokeback Mountain, Capote and Transamerica should send a very clear message to Hollywood that there is a market for these kinds of smart, inclusive films.'
GLAAD said 46% of all Golden Globe wins—11 out of 24 categories—came from LGBT-inclusive projects. Other award highlights include wins by Philip Seymour Hoffman ( Capote ) for Best Dramatic Actor, Felicity Huffman ( Transamerica ) for Best Dramatic Actress, and Desperate Housewives for TV Series, Musical or Comedy.

The 17th Annual GLAAD Media Award nominations will be announced Jan. 23, at the Sundance Film Festival.
