    That little introduction that Ben Kingsley gave to Mickey Rourke was just so so classy and touching and yes that one trick pony should have won

      Mickey Rourke in the 1980s was a combo James Dean-Marlon Brando. His career should of been so much more!

    I seriously wish the Oscars did these '5 actors praising the nominees' job today before they announced the winners. It makes the show seem so accepting and impressive in it's own right if they didn't rush to the winner right away. What does everyone else think?

All of us went to see The Wrestler opening night in Manhattan. People were SNEAKING IN to even STAND in the back of the theater to watch the film.

The few times he is it's because someone is a fan of him or he wants to return the favour like when he was in The Expendables, Mickey was repaying Stallone for letting him be in Get Carter

      Sean Penn's performance in I am Sam is arguably the worst performance to ever get a nomination. Ridiculously overacted performance. The movie itself was an abomination. It was sappy, condescending, mawkish and manipulative.

Harvey was a brave and strong man who left the world too early, but what he did still echoes and plays a part in what's going on in our country today, Sean played him perfectly.

    As much as I liked Penn in Milk, I really felt that Rourke deserved it for The Wrestler. It was such an awesome performance. If I recall, Rourke was the frontrunner but lost out because of the unpredictability of what we would say in his acceptance speech. It reminds me of the time when Denzel Washington (Training Day) beat Russell Crowe (the clear frontrunner for A Beautiful Mind) in the "black year" of the Oscars (the same year in which Sidney Poitier got the Honorary Award and Halle Berry won for Monster's Ball). Russell Crowe lost out apparently because he was furious that his BAFTA speech was cut short.

There are plenty of good gay actors out there, any one of whom I am sure would have jumped at the chance to play Milk. I went to see the film fully expecting to be disappointed. As it turns out, I walked out if the theater after the film feeling what a great movie. Congrats Sean, u pulled it off!

      Did you even see Milk? This is easily one of the greatest best actor performances of all time. The only reason Rourke gained momentum building to the oscars was by winning popular voted awards like the Golden Globe and Bafta where people like Penn, who don't even bother to show up, never win. Penn swept the critics choice awards and also won the SAG award. He was always the favorite to win. Simply based on the strength of the performance, Sean Penn rightfully won. Rourke was terrific though.

    • @dayargrosario
      @dayargrosario 9 лет назад

      Akash Vijay acting is not a contest for biggest amount of mannerism (which Penn often overuses),its mostly about appearing like a real person.and based on that Mickey Rourke in my opinion is the winner in each performance that one could compare to any given by Penn(whose general display of gesture seems off the reality of film).so basically i think Penn is many times nominated only because he tends to choose oscar material movies(im not saying on purpose but maybe he just likes those more "sappy" themes that tend to manipulate the not very critical audience and its feelings),and appeals to the political agendas of the people in the academy,so he is a good prospect for promoting certain personality traits that would make an "ideal american hero".of course he was gonna win but i dont think it has anything to do with the academy priorizing good acting over "behavior".i dont need a bunch of critics or prize-givers telling me who is a great actor and who is not.

Mickey Rourke's transformation was difficult, but no where near Sean Penn's. I wouldn't say the greatest performance all time, that would probably have to go to Robert De Niro for his performance in Taxi Driver. Julia Robert's swept every small critics group awards as well for her performance in Erin Brockovich, but Ellen Burstyn clearly had a way better performance in Requiem for a Dream.
