"What's an Oscar Flashback (tm)? Read here: Next on my Netflix queue was Kinsey, for which Laura Linney was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar (film year, 2004; awarding year, 2005). The other nominees for Best Supporting Actress in this category were: The Aviator - Cate Blanchett (Winner) Closer - Natalie Portman Hotel Rwanda - Sophie Okonedo Sideways - Virginia Madsen This movie also represents the fourth of five LGBT-themed Oscar movies at the top of my Netflix queue (thanks to my stream of consciousness queuing).

A brave pioneer, who merely wants to learn what no one else studied before, or a serious perv who just wants to learn more because, he's, uh, entertained by learning it? According to Bill Condon's movie, Alfred Kinsey was somewhere in the middle. He was indeed capable of studying sex with a clinical detachment, but he certainly had no qualms in his personal life. I found him to be a sort of male version of that creepy old woman who hosts that sex show on TV. You are glad that someone is telling you the stuff you always wondered about, but you aren't really sure that this is the guy you want to learn in it from. It is hard to anyone living in today's sex-drenched society to try to understand how groundbreaking Kinsey's work was. Without exaggeration, he might be called the Charles Darwin of sex, and much of his conclusions are still controversial today. He discovered that homosexual, pre-marital, ... "
