...in one, the actor disappears and becomes the character. Each part and performance are very different. Sean Penn.
In the other, the actor plays a version of himself and is similar in all of his parts. Mickey Rourke.
The Academy tends to reward the first group. Had Sean Penn not turned in the performance he did in Milk, Mickey would have had a good chance this year.
It's not about suffering,it's about acting.
