Yeah, it sounds in this case like people are projecting (I.E. they determine their favorites based on sexual attraction so therefore they assume WE must be deciding our favorites based on sexual attraction) and that since they use their favorites to decide which actors are most deserving, we must be doing that too...
Of course I'm sexually attracted to Auntie Ethel - really now?
Sure, the lesbian person who picked Raphael as their favourite performer over Jaheira, must clearly be making their decision based on sexual attractiveness!

I was about to point that out too, thanks . Not that I don't think, Jaheiras actress isn't good and not that I said, that Dave is talented, that just the roles are of different difficulty.
And I do like Jaheira more than Raphael and still think, his actor should get the award.
