no Oscar, just a nomination. Excuse me if I save my pity for those slightly less fortunate than Mickey Rourke.

For the record, I would've given him the award for The Wrestler, it is a truly memorable creation. But Penn really did a good job as Milk, as did Langella as Nixon. So none of those three would disappoint me as a winner.

Penelope Cruz won for a decent role in a trifle of a movie. Probably Meryl Streep deserved it, but again, it is hard to summon pity for Meryl.

My favorite win of the night was Man on Wire. Phillipe Petite got to run up and do a little coin magic and got to balance the Oscar on his chin. This was one of my two favorite movies last year.

Langella + Rourke both outstanding: Penn deserved this one tho' - grinagog 22:44:07 02/23/09 (0)
his portrayal of Harvey Milk is about as good as it gets. The scene where he's sitting alone in a kitchen talking into a tape recorder mike ( + convinced he's just about to be killed ) would be deserving of an Oscar by itself; but given that there are a dozen other scenes in the film that are equally as good, I'm pleased he got the Oscar, Penn truly deserved that
