BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Colin Firth was nominated for an Oscar for best actor this year for “A Single Man.” As we know, Hollywood insider Jeff Bridges took home the Oscar, but Firth was “genuinely thrilled at the nomination and genuinely relieved when it was over. The stress is something else. So are the questions posed after you’re nominated.”
The movie, of course, is the long- delayed screen version of Christopher Isherwood’s acclaimed 1960s novel (dedicated to fellow gay author Gore Vidal). And it marks the directorial debut of openly gay American fashion designer Tom Ford, who also adapted the book and coproduced the film.
