I'm done with this telecast.
I thought and hoped Mickey would win (always been a fan of his) but i can't really say Sean Penn didn't deserve it - haven't seen Milk.
GB, we're on the same page again. This should've been Rourke's night. It would've made for an unforgettable Oscar. Penn already has one collecting dust so it was stupid.
If Penn won, I expected him to be gracious as Ving Rhames was for Jack Lemmon. But as you mentioned, he had to go on his spiel. I shut the thing off after his speech.
For Penn, he was actually gracious. The last time I saw him on the Oscars he was an asshole. He always has something political to say or some cause. I would be shocked with anything less.
But it was Mickey's night for me. It would have been a great night if he had won, and the poor guy lost his dog six days ago.
If you want to see a great speech, Youtube Mickey's Independent Spirit Award speech from last night. It's a classic.
