Mickey Rourke didn’t win an Oscar last night. So what? Sean Penn deserves it, every step of the way. Those out there, slamming Sean Penn’s win for his role as Harvey Milk, don’t understand the talented actor Sean Penn is. I haven’t even seen the movie “Milk”, but I’m sure he did a great job. People are blaming the homosexual views of the character being responsible for the win, which I believe isn’t true. They gave the award to Sean because he’s simply one of the best actors in all of Hollywood.
This is Sean Penn’s second Oscar win as Best Actor. He first won for Best Actor for his role in “Mystic River”.
Those shitting on Sean Penn, are probably new and young Hollywood fans who probably tuned in to see Robert Pattison or the High School the Musical kids present awards. Do yourself a favor and see some of Sean Penn’s older films when he’s starring the leading role.
Some great Sean Penn movies that you should rent: “Mystic River”, “Dead Man Walking”, “I am Sam”, “The Interpreter”, “21 Grams”, etc. Just to name a few.
I kind of had a feeling that either Sean Penn or Brad Pitt were going to take the win instead of Mickey anyway. Mickey may win big at other award shows, but think about it, the other award shows are not as big as the Oscars. Mickey still has a long way to go to make his Oscar winning dream come true.
Winning an Oscar is a long road for an actor. It don’t happen for new and upcoming actors too much. Sean Penn is great and talented. Don’t diss the guy for his Oscar win, ’cause many movie fans don’t realize what it takes to be an actor.

Not to mention how good Sean was in Carlito’s Way, playing that whiny, untrustworthy, YKW (you know who) based on slimy lawyer Alan Dershowitz. He wasn’t playing Dershowitz, but his character was based on Dershowitz. He played Dershowitz so good that Deshowitz tried to sue him for defamation even though the characters name wasn’t Alan Dershowitz! Sean Penn is a great actor, but I would’ve liked Mickey Rourke to win. Mickey is the comeback kid and Sean has already won an Oscar so it would’ve been nice to see Mickey win, though Sean is deserving.
I think that since Hollywood is runned by the Velvet Mafia and YKW’s (you know who’s, the same type as Alan Dershowitz) that they’d want to give an award to an actor from a movie about a shirtlifting, intestinal explorer like Harvey Milk.

Kev,
Your views seem to be based entirely on some sort of prejudice in favour of sean penn…considering you haven’t watched either movie in question(I’m assuming u haven’t seen The Wrestler either),you’ve got no business commenting on who deserved it, let alone make elitist remarks like the ‘Robert Pattisson’ one…so take it from one who’s watched both movies-Sean Penn may have had a more difficult role to portray-and no doubt doubt he did a very good job-but,undoubtedly, Mickey Rourke’s was the more stellar performance,and significantly so-I’d go to the extent of saying it was one of the most genuinely moving performances in the last 7-8 years…
Like Hugh said,its the slimy movie bosses and executives who seem to have the last word on the Oscars-and given Rorke’s past behavior and the fashionable social cause being promoted in Milk,it’s little wonder that Penn won…SHAME on the Academy for politicising the evaluation of artistic merit to this extent…of late,The Golden Globes seem much more credible in comparison..
