I saw BOYS DON'T CRY way before all the Golden Globe and Oscar Buzz started rolling in. I knew the buzz would come big time as one can't deny such solid performances to go unnoticed. Therefore it was no surprise that Hilary Swank did win the Oscar and every other award over nearest rival Annette Bening in AMERICAN BEAUTY. Bening was superb as well, and in any other given year would have won the Oscar as her American Beauty husband Kevin Spacey did, in fact, do, his second Oscar. I felt very bad for Annette's loss in a role of a lifetime! Yet... As I watched Boys Don't Cry years later, Swank's performance holds up tremendously, a real "coup" of acting, one of the most controversial roles back in the days of 1999. Everyone should see this film! Thankfully we are a bit more tolerant in regards to LGBD issues, this one primarily focused on transgender!
