Good news for Sean Penn fans: At the end of Milk - SPOILER ALERT - you get to watch your hero get blown away by gunfire.

Sorry, but that seems to be the price Penn must pay if he wants to win another Oscar to match the chunk of academy gold he nabbed for 2003's Mystic River. That's because gay roles that win Academy Awards for actors almost always must suffer ghastly deaths.
