* FalselyAdvertisedAccuracy: Sam Smith boasted during their Oscar acceptance speech that Sir Creator/IanMcKellen recently lamented that "no openly gay man had ever won an Oscar", and that if that were true, then Smith broke the streak. [=McKellen=]'s lament only applied to the Best Actor Oscar, and Smith quickly learned that several publicly-homosexual filmmakers won in other categories before them. Even counting only Best Song, ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' lyricist Howard Ashman beat him by 26 years to becoming the first openly gay recipient of the award. Even worse was one award recipient the same year politely requesting that Sam stop flirting with their boyfriend.
