The chickens have come home to roost in the coop built by the American film industry's socially liberal politics.

This year, the Screen Actors Guild honored Daniel Day-Lewis with the award for best actor for his powerful turn in the unusual There Will Be Blood. Day-Lewis then honored his colleague Heath Ledger, dedicating his victory to the recently deceased young man. His speech was very kind and intense, if not a little meandering.
Besides Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as Bill the Butcher, the costumes in Gangs of New York really were the best part. So we can understand how they might be difficult to give up.
Fun fact: Day-Lewis' wife is Rebecca Miller, Arthur Miller's daughter.
