'Brokeback Mountain' Parody Tops iFILM Awards



A video parody of the U.S. film "Brokeback Mountain" has been named the best viral video of the year through the annual iFILM awards.
An iFILM news release said that the fake film trailer, that combines the 2005 Academy Award-winning film with 1985's "Back to the Future," was recognized by the popular Internet video source as the year's best video clip shared on the Internet.
The film parody beat out a humorous video clip of a BBC interview featuring an information technology expert mistakenly identified as an Internet music expert.
The annual "best of" awards ceremony also recognized the music video for Muse's "Knights Of Cydonia" as the best of its type in 2006, while honoring the preview of "The Departed" as the year's best film trailer.
The Internet video site's awards event also found that "Folgers: Happy Mornings" was the year's best online commercial for its unique take on the coffee brand as a daily source for hallucinogens.
