No. Alan has deserved it for MANY fucking years.
I don't disagree that Alan deserves a ton of acclaim for his role as Eli Gold on the Good Wife - it must be so hard for him to play someone so different from himself!
but, and this is just speculation based on his public image, I don't think he'd disagree with me that Matt Bomer's portrayal of Felix, a young man who died of AIDS while struggling to bring it to the attention of the public was more deserving of the award
I mean, what do I know, I've obviously never met the man, but Alan supports
the american foundation for aids research
broadway cares/equity fights aids
the elton john aids foundation
so I don't think it's right to say "fuck matt bomer" for winning a well deserved award for his incredible performance (he lost thirty-five pounds) in such an important film because you're a bigger fan of Alan Cumming. I'm a huge fan of Alan's, but I still think Bomer deserved the award.
if anything, I don't think they should have been in the same category, what with the normal heart being a tv movie, and the good wife being a television show, but that's another story
