Is there a release date on this yet? Possibly award season?

Nope. It's in post production and sure to be released this year, that's the best info out there.

Would method acting involve losing a lot of weight for this role, or actually contracting HIV? Just wondering, because McConaughey is looking pretty frail there.

He's been a good actor for a long while now. Problem was that he kept getting in movies that probably got him a good amount of pussy. Sadly they were bad films. Though I could understand why he'd do them. Wonder why he changed it. Good for him.

Jared Leto's performance (and weight loss) was astonding - he in my mind deserves a nomination for supporting actor.
I wasn't entirely sure what I was expecting in terms of enjoying this movie, but afterwards I was completely wow'ed. It's now in my top ten of the year.

I give it a 4 out of 5 as well. McConaughey and Leto poured their hearts into these characters and it shows.
