forrest gump: it's the scene showed at the oscars with cameron drake and his friend in the wheelchair

spartacus: the scene where everybody stands up and claims to be gay. in spartacus everybody stands up and claims to be sparatcus.

hope this helps and that i'm correct ;-)

btw: i loved the reference to steven seagal at the oscars "snowball in hell"

Much of the "excerpt" of Cameron's Oscar film is a takeoff on the scenes in Forrest Gump where Tom Hanks' character rescues Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise) from the battlefield. The gay element is not present in that film even if it is in Hanks' film "Philadelphia" where the idea of the "In and Out" acceptance speech came from.
