In Reply to: Hollywood to Mickey Rourke: You didn't suffer enough! posted by ElDragon on February 23, 2009 at 07:26:52:
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.
