That eventful night may have overshadowed the quality of "Moonlight" - this is an out and out masterpiece from director Barry Jenkins, who creates a story about masculinity and gay love in the BAME community masterfully. Sadly, its win was marred by the farcical mix up with envelopes, which led to "La La Land" being called out as the night's big winner before the mistake was corrected.

"Moonlight" made history by becoming the first LGBTQ movie to win best picture at the Oscars. One of the film's many great lines (spoken by Gyllenhaal's Jack to Ledger's Ennis), "I wish I could quit you," sums up the love between these two men - it was never allowed to properly blossom and ultimately served to harm both parties.

The film still won three Oscars in total, however, plus nominations for Ledger and Gyllenhaal, and remains a pillar of LGBTQ cinema - it is perhaps the most iconic of gay movies. While the film was strongly tipped to win best picture, too, "Crash" nabbed the top prize at the death, which many still view as one of the biggest upsets in Oscars history. "Brokeback Mountain" brought together two of the finest young actors in Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal for an aching love story between two men whose secret love affair spans years and threatens to destroy them.Īng Lee, who had already achieved commercial and critical success with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," proved to be the perfect director for this material, winning himself the best director Oscar. Without spoiling the story, one is more open to their feelings than the other, and it is heartbreaking to watch as you wish these two men could simply be with one another without thought or consequence. Grant and Wilby are utterly convincing as two men who fall for each other, and approach and embrace those feelings in vastly different ways.
Starring Hugh Grant as Clive Durham and James Wilby as the titular man he falls in love with in Edwardian-era UK, this is an expertly made movie from the height of the AIDS crisis that bravely depicted the love between two men in a highly oppressive era. "Maurice" was one of those films, and was adapted from E.M.

James Ivory is an important figure in queer cinema, not only because he has written and directed several excellent movies about gay characters, but also because his production company (Merchant Ivory Productions) with his professional and romantic partner Ismail Merchant made some of the most revered films of the 1980s and early 1990s.
Given that Frears' movie was made in 1985, half way through Margaret Thatcher's second term as Prime Minister of the UK, this film featuring an interracial, same-sex couple was pretty revolutionary. Eventually, Johnny and Omar rekindle their friendship, which turns into a beautiful romance passionately played out by Day-Lewis and Warnecke. Johnny became the apparent leader of a group of right-wing street punks who attack members of the Pakistani community that Omar knows. Johnny and Omar used to be friends at school, but grew apart and took different paths.
One of those earlier movies, and one of the very first where he took a lead role, was Stephen Frears' "My Beautiful Laundrette," which follows Day-Lewis' Johnny opening a laundrette with his Pakistani boyfriend, Gordon Warnecke's Omar, in the UK in the late 80s. Daniel Day-Lewis is an actor of legendary status, having won three best actor Academy Awards and earnined a reputation as the method actor despite only appearing in 20 films across a career spanning 49 years.
