Best actor winner Sean Penn had the Academy pegged at “commie, homo-loving sons of guns,” and that is why you don’t go slinging the f-word ahead of the Oscars.

Way to play to the all-straight Academy, Mickey. You earned this (lack of) one.
The Award couldn’t have gone to a less deserving person than Sean “I Hate The Human World” Penn.
Mickey Rourke is my new hero for that speech. Sean Penn can suck it.
First of all: A full-body EWWWWWW to Rourke, vis-a-vis Evan Rachel Wood. Friends or not, YUCK. He’s old enough to be her gin-soaked, drug-addled, porn-addicted stepfather. Fleh.
Secondly: Shut up, Mickey Rourke. Just assume that as your new, full-time job. SHUT. UP. Every time you say something it’s just a wee bit more stupid and embarrassing than the last time. I don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative or apolitical. Just put a sock in it, and make it a really big fluffy sock.
Thirdly: Sean Penn acts like old people screw, only with more creaking. Shut up to you too, Sean Penn.
There are those in the industry that believe Mickey Rourke was a victim of a very famous motorcycle gang of which he was once (is?) a member.
Some might say that Rourke was extorted by this group of fellows, MC Hammer & his posse-style, with groups of up to forty motorcyclists simultanously living in his home, eating his food, etc.
Others might say he was a volunteer, Tom Cruise & Scientology-style but there’s no denying that Rourke spent a significant portion of his savings and any earnings on this group, members of which escorted him to auditions and business meetings, even out at night, basically never leaving his side for a years at a time. This group was said to be demanding ’security’ work for ten on any shoots or work involving Rourke.
Perhaps Rourke finally escaped by spending all his money.
Chronic, do you happen to mean his Spirit Awards acceptance speech? Because I agree, that was awesome:
That’s the one Holly! It’s a classic. I never much cared for him either way, and think it’s terrible what’s happened to his face because he used to be so good looking, but that speech made me a fan.
Way to go academy! Hugh Jackman! Zac Efron! Lavish musical numbers! Milk! Just change your name to Bruce, get a crew cut, grow a big mustache, buy some ass-less chaps, move to Lincoln Park, and be done with it. It’s okay. America understands. Really most people don’t care. We’re behind you! Well not THAT way.
I used to watch the Oscars to see all the different outfits but now everyone dresses the same so now I don’t even bother. Kim Jong Il could win an award for all I know.
Rourke was on Charlie Rose last week and was a very interesting guest. It’s a good interview, if they have in on PBS, it’s worth the watch. Basically he said that he let himself become a complete mess, and he’s now a work in progress, and trying to coming along in the right way step by step. He made no excuses for his prior messd up behavior really, either.
It definitely wasn’t the usual celebutard, “Mea culpa, I read the Bible now while I’m out clubbing, and I’m feeding poor countries” B.S.
Maybe if Mickey stuck in hand a little further down his pants, it could of guarenteed a win.
It has worked in the past.
Pasta — Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily nailed it when she called it the “gayest Oscars ever.” It was certainly fabulous. My only complaint is that the drag queen who attended as Sophia Loren needs to lay off the collagen.
Sophia Loren is a living goddess. She is 74 years old and it’s ok for her to be flamboyant. Now that you have made fun of her, she will strike you down with the powers of her fabulousness.
As for Mickey, the Academy’s votes were already counted by the time the Independent Spirit awards came on the air. Maybe speeches previous to that evening might have counted against him. However, is a win such a great thing? For ever Jack Nicholson who wins you have Louise Fletcher (Who? Exactly my point) Brad Dourif, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Roberto Benini (to name a few). Mickey’s career has already been resurrected just by his nomination. He already has a role lined up in the next Iron Man, one that he is probably going to be paid very well for. I think Mickey will be just fine without an Oscar (until he screws it all up again with unprofessional behavior and drug use).
Is it what the Tony Awards want to be when they grow up?
And there was one women among the five that were up there, I can’t think of any of their names at the moment, that looked older than Sophia Loren and is probably 1/3 Sophia’s age. Should I feel dirty for thinking she’s (Sophia) so hot? Or is it the feeling dirty part that makes her so hot?
Queen Bee, you forgot Halle Berry. And since somebody finally brought up Louise Fletcher I can tell you that during the little fit Batman threw I thought he sounded a lot like that kid Billy or whatever his name was in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” when she threatened to call his mother for sleeping with that girl, and he’s slamming his fist against the floor.
I’m the only one that knows what the Hell I’m talking about aren’t I?
HA! I can’t believe I found this. It’s at the end around the 3:30 mark No! No! No!

Okay, okay sorry. I’ll NEVER mention this again.
All I can say is Sean Penn is in no position to lecture America on gay marriage when he has visited countries where gays are imprisoned, persecuted, or killed and had nothing but nice things to say.
Pasta – I know what you’re talking about. And that scares me more than anything.
Pasta, Sophia Loren is hot. But you’re still dirty.
StrawberryGirl, you said it before I could. I keep wondering what all the tolerance-is-everything crowd will do when their tolerance leads to the rule of people who would have them stoned (and not in a good way).
Beige and StrawberryGirl, you hit that particular nail on the head. Which is a good reason why all celebrities, including both Sean and Mickey, need to keep their traps shut.
One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest is a great movie. Nothing wrong with remembering that scene because it was fing great. My main point is, Academy Awards can be career killers. And, I forgot to mention F. Murray Abraham before.
But if he went and told old Hugo Chavez or the Iranian nutjob (whose name I have no desire to learn to spell) that being gay was cool he’d be a warmongerer trying to push Western values on their societies!
*cough* Seriously, though, you’re so right Strawberry. Guess I’m going to go be ashamed now…
Kristine, don’t even get me started on ol’ Hugo and Ahmedinejad (sp?). Especially Hugo.
In fact, Chavez probably deserves a prime spot in the Deceiver March Madness competition, given that every time he opens his mouth and refers to Venezuela as a ‘democracy,’ he’s being a hypocrite.
Yuk, thanks for the memories, my mother was so much like Nurse Ratched when I was little, I used to stutter too. Never could stand to watch that part of the movie, but I liked the movie overall especially the end. X-(
MC Mom, I couldn’t have said it better myself. The best thing that can happen to Venezuela right now is someone with good aim and a hollow point.
Okay, this is sort of a sidebar, but I must inquire:
Has there been a rash of pick-pockets working the red carpets recently?
‘Cuz Mickey has more than just his wallet on a chain.
Oh yeah, the Slumdog guys did cart along a bunch’a Oliver Twists especially for the event. Now I get it. Good thinking Mickey, don’t wanna be seen pulling any wrestling moves on the lightfingered orphans.
