Mickey Rourke wins Best Actor BAFTA - The British Academy Film Awards 2009 - BBC One

[jaycop20]

you´re loyal??



[Fitzit87]

Rourke is a legend. <3

[odaynasser80]

wow who's that at 1:58 ?

[sleepymofo]

BAFTA got it right....the Oscars didn't.

[TonyDanza4Lyfe]

Anybody else think he was gonna say Heath Ledger at the end?

[Darazz]

The Wrestler is one of my favorites. "Have you ever seen one-trick pony..." God I cried so hard.

[heranature]

could anyone please tell me who the lady at 1:57 is?

[OliviaTheGeek]

@heranature I believe its Gemma Arterton

[Basjeeeeeeeee]

@heranature Gemma Arterton

[asdffghei234]

i wonder if mickey still giving money the the Ira lol

[LOVELIFE54]

LOL ..God Bless You ..Mickey :-)

[AurasBookBox]

that was too funny, glad he won

[colmhearne]

He is such an awesome actor I'm surprised I haven't seen him in more movies other than The Wrestler, Iron Man 2 and The Expendables.

[johnanthonyp]

Huge Irish hands- Ali?

[MrLaytes]

oh my God, so hilarious ☺☺♂♂.

[johnanthonyp]

Should have been tne alter ego in Fight Club

[paulaadi]

fake and gay

[HarveyFogelbaumJr]

@paulaadi

mickey is greatest ever and only you amount to MOOK!

[jferkfjkj]

giving sean penn a 2nd oscar over micjey rourke's comeback is the most despicable decision that the academy ever made in its 80 years of existence. at least bafta got it right

[HuErigerable]

Song?

[wwiwwe]

@HuErigerable Keane - Spiralling. Amazing band, stunning song!

[coolbrett]

He should have won the Oscar too!!!!

[TriQart]

How badass can you get really?

[Riggslwp]

This dude is the man!!

[slipknoterman]

u can tell sharon stone loves him

[OrginalKork]

Who did he fist bump at 0:18? Weinstein?

[TheDMDowntown1]

@OrginalKork That's his agent.

[thegreasyspeedo]

@OrginalKork thats who it looked like to me...

[djgraememaclean]

I know this comment isn't going to go down well but so what? I don't care! This idiot gave money to the IRA to help them buy more shit like semtex to blow up innocent people. He has an IRA tattoo which I also find very offensive. I mean it's sort of like having a swastika tattooed on your hand. Yet all these people at the British film awards sit and clap and laugh at his stupid jokes. Bunch of morons. He's a dim witted prick and I hope he ends up living in the gutter where he belongs.

[psychicriver]

@djgraememaclean You shouldn't hold back posting your opinions... That said, The Wrestler was a fantastic movie and 100% because of Mickey Rourke's performance. So yes, he earned that award.

[djgraememaclean]

@psychicriver My point is this, the audience are a bunch of rich brainwashed hypocrites. Would they cheer Charles Manson if he got up on stage? He's provided the world with a form of entertainment just like Rourke has. He's got a swastika tattoo on his head but he isn't a Nazi and doesn't support or fund Nazis. He hasn't killed anyone or given money to people who carry out bombing campaigns in the UK. If he was to appear in front them he'd be boo'd and heckled. See what I'm driving at?

[djgraememaclean]

@psychicriver PS. I haven't see the film yet so I couldn't possibly comment on if he deserves it or not.

[inkey2]

@djgraememaclean didn't England support our rebels in the American war? Yes, So lets call it a "tie"

[FilipH86]

@inkey2 No England did not support the rebels since the CSA had slaves and england would never support a state that had slavery (eventhough one might define the working conditions for children and other people in factories and other places in england as slavery)

[inkey2]

@FilipH86 well if England did not support the CSA then why did their bank vaults hold many dollars worth of CSA bonds. Those have been sold off as collectors items recently

[FilipH86]

@inkey2 did not think of financial support but other kinds like soldiers and guns and stuff

[djgraememaclean]

@inkey2 Did you really mean to send that to me? I'm not English, I'm Scottish. Secondly, (if it was for me) what has an out and out, one army fighting another army, civil war got to do with terrorists planting bombs in shopping centers to blow up women and children? The IRA called themselves an army but they were terrorists. An army stands on a battlefield and fights another army. They don't hide in the shadows and plant bombs in shopping centers to blow up unsuspecting women and children.

[inkey2]

@djgraememaclean oops wrong person

[djgraememaclean]

@inkey2 I apologize for the rant then. hahaha

[inkey2]

@djgraememaclean the rant is fine...i was trying to reply to someone who stated that England did not get involved with our American civil war and did not support the Confederate States of America. Directly or indirectly they did....mostely because they needed cotton. I was telling him, or was going to tell him that recently thousands of Confederate States War bonds from the 1860s have been auctioned off (from brit banks). England only gave up on the "South" when it became obvious they wee losing

[djgraememaclean]

@inkey2 To be honest I don't know a great deal about the American civil war. I've read a few books and watched a few videos about the subject but it's hard to decipher what's true and what's not. The idea that Lincoln was assassinated by the Jesuits is pretty interesting but again, its hard to decipher truth from fiction as it was so long ago and there are so many conflicting opinion.

[avtrox]

mwahaha he is so badass and gives the best acceptance speeches

[SSnowinJulyy]

love him!



[GranKnight87]

Mike YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

[ilona6575]

MICKEY, WRITE TO ME ON FACEBOOK. I WILL WAIT HOW MANY IT IS REQUIRED, PLEASE. FROM ILONA SHARAPOVA.

[Kaio1979]

[jackinla8]

[CristinaBellex]

[alexander45550]

[The2ndNewaccount]

[NYtoTX]

fucking up my career...I love him!

[tastybedsore]

micky rourk beat the shit out of juan claude van dam back in the day....

[semanray]

0:58 the who wants to be a millionaire kid is like:''did he just say the f word??''

[DMKelly20]

They should give Mickey a guest role on an upcoming season of "Sons of Anarchy". He'd be just perfect.

[pwdrblu]

His ridiculous looking plastic surgery ruined everything, so sad !!!

[khanflesh]

@pwdrblu Well, he didn't have much of a choice. His face was wrecked during his professional boxing career.

[NYtoTX]

@pwdrblu Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I know

[TrsKLio]

kind i adore him

[FungusMossGnosis]

Gemma Arterton at 1:58 - looks sort of like if you put together the best features of Winona Ryder and Jennifer Lopez in their prime.

[xBuzz996]

ffs i love when he talks with russian accent!

[dragonmastergirl]

the announcer looks/sounds familiar.....is that the girl from the mummy, or am i losing my mind???

[zako263]

@dragonmastergirl Its the woman from Inception. They do look similar.

[dragonmastergirl]

@zako263 they sound familiar too...

[ayzax14]

@dragonmastergirl She's the French actress Marion Cotillard. She won an Oscar for La Vie en Rose and she's also in Inception and Public Enemies. I agree, though, with her hair she kind of looked like Rachel Weisz from the Mummy.

[dragonmastergirl]

@ayzax14 thanks ^_^

[jimmybrown11111]

a lot of the actors in the audience are emotional because they know he was one of the greats, He could have surpassed them all.

[kutiekatz90]

omg the fist bump at 0:18 lol so badass

[toured87]

@kutiekatz90 perfect timing to the music

[Im0r7ali7y]

0:54 Cpt. Jean Picard of the USS Enterprise.

[bhupeshyadav22]

one of the best actors in the world he deserves every award

just look at his on screen acting brothers & u'll get to know how natural he's

& the last thing it was a fucking great speech

[egomichal]

buahahaha, that's funniest thing in my life ;d

[Guerilla441949]

he´s cool

[Amaresku]

i've met mickey at the airport in Sarajevo last year. and i was really surprised how short he was. he barely reached my shoulders. and i'm 6.5. pretty crazy!

[cougar776]

@Amaresku: He is not that short, you are the one who is very tall.... nearly 2 meters...

[soyrizo]

The young woman at 1:58 is soooo beautiful!

[Anomaly20]

@soyrizo Gemma Aterton

[nhdarling2]

@soyrizo gemma arterton

[annaelizabethedith]

@soyrizo gemma arteton <3

[hellsbells056]

@soyrizo Gemma Arterton I think her name is. She has been in everything but she has come out of nowhere. Mickey Rourke is cooler though.

[HuErigerable]

@soyrizo Gemma Aerton

[HuckeysWorld]

Rourke is the man. love all his movies. truley a great actor

[fuckgd1]

@HuckeysWorld i thought hes just a wrestler

[HuckeysWorld]

@fuckgd1 he use to box to. check out some of his vids on youtube when he boxed. he was 8-0 when he quit

[evenyscrewd]

every time i see this i get so fuckin angry that he didn't get the academy award for this 10/10 performance.

[ddbonner]

At least the Brits got it right. The Oscar's are a politically correct popularity contest.

[SUGARPOP73]

@ddbonner that is why Clooney have so many nominations and 2 oscars!!!!John Wayne's true heir.Glad that Mickey is back on top.I've been a fan since the 80's.

[richard21solava]

Everyone is clapping cuz he said fuck???? Wow pathetic how ppl find bad words amusing

[jinheat]

@richard21solava obviously that went over your head lol

[castletriglav]

@richard21solava Get over it, you fuckin' child.

[TheBlackSpoon]

Rourke #1

[tonireed1]

Mickey, we have a screen play for you! It is a family movie, about a salty sea captain that has to suffer the indignity of manning a cruise ship in order to fulfill his long overdue Icelandic mission that turns out to BE his path for realizing Self.

We are that type—a physicist and philosopher-poet--on whom, nothing is lost.

[johnanthonyp]

He has to do Hard Times. You owe me money

[sluggo06]

I agree with his pet remark. I don't really seem like a wanted or well liked person but the pets at my house love me. Lola (bulldog) loves me for me. Pets never let you down and will always love you. Remember that someone cares for you when your down.

[johnnydepp51]

who is this girl 1:58

[sleepymofo]

@johnnydepp51 Gemma Arterton. She was in the recent James Bond film, "Clash of the Titans", and "Prince of Persia".

[johnnydepp51]

[RAUL77]

[countdownshow]

love his speech

[megadude86]

I want my bird.

[Nihilanth1982]

wow, what a foul mouthed prick. and the plastic surgery makes him look like a mess.

[sRm744]

@Nihilanth1982 he was a professional boxer, all boxers in one moment of their carrer have to go on the table in a way or another, some heavily than others if they are lucky.. Ali, Frazier, Tyson, Pacquiao, because one had a cheekbone destroyed or subcutaneous ematoma or a chin broken ect.. and the man is 59 years old so he's still pretty in shape for a "mess" like you said.

[sushisazimi68]

totally drunk

[chicgeek]

real

[AkinBrando]

@Cheese71- That Gemma Artenton (or something like that.. (: )

She did movie Prince of Persia.. (:

[cheraytv]

[Cheese71]

[rangsar]

WOW who is that beauty @ 2:00?

[JaninSweet1]

[toured87]

[oluwala]

@counterstrikenerd321 thanks mate

[BramDrolmans]

tears from sharon for the master

[johnanthonyp]

Absolute charisma, Brad's exactly where he should be in his presence. Sitting down, He should have got the Fight Club role. Just imagine there. Him saying---the first rule of the fight club is;;Anyway, the it's rightful that the finest actor of his generation is on the up when the likes of Gibson and Cruise are on the slide, Screw the ninties indeed, to quote him in the Wrestler.

[calmsnowfall]

@johnanthonyp

Tom Cruise may be dumb in real life, but he is a fantastic actor.

[godfaathr]

unfortunately every1 talks bout him losing oscars & people just forget he won golden globe n bafta

[xtina643]

lol. he's so funny! i loved it!

[pedro13181318]

mickey your the best actor you have style

[5fing3rD3athPunch]

great speech

[rahsek1]

i love mickey's speeches! 

[DoNotBeHighandMighty]

Look at Patrick Stewart behind Brad Pitt when he is laughing. LOL. Not even a flinch.

[numnutth]

[theyear2102]

9 and 1/2 fucking weeks!!!!!

[whackyronu]

[Scarletthelps]

[spartan4227]

@Scarletthelps Gemma Arterton

[chivbandit]

1.58 is Gemma Arteton. She's in Quantum of Solace and St Trinians. Good luck and remember my wedding invite ;)

[theyear2102]

It's so weird he first wins best actor in Britain rather then USA. He got robbed blind for the wrestler. Academy Awards are rigged.

[mean71cuda]

no.. you dont understand.. who in the F**K is that @ 1:58 im gonna find her and make her my wife.. you know those quick "im in love" moments but those real ones not just like im horny.. yea.. i just had that with her..

[n1c4m1]

OMG Mickey is the MAN!!!!!!! The charisma, its unbelievable.

[godfaathr]

he shud hv got oscars but i didnt see milk...is thr any1 who has seen both performances...i wz just curious to see wat ppl think

[ASAMOAH24]

MAN WAS ROBBED AT THE OSCARS!

LEGEND, END OF!

[cormackjames]

Mickey Rourke is a great actor, but not good in life, hopefully that changes. So cool that he dedicated his award to another great screen presence in Richard Harris, a true legend!

[loxj]

He looks like death warmed over. 

[connaught2008]

Rourkes most underrated movies gotta be The Pope Of Greenich Village with Eric Roberts (another amazin actor)...and Johnny Handsome. Forgotten Classics

[fffeeemmm]

fuck the oscars... first, mickey rourke DESERVED it more than anyone... also, ive always thought oscars were stupid since 1993 when robert downey jr didnt win best actor for his portrayal of Charlie Chaplin BUT won the BAFTA.. oscars suck!!!

[joecrookes]

I just watched the wrestler for the first time and i gotta say it's nothing less than brilliant and tearjerkingly emotional

[t3ddyb3ar2k8]

mickey sooo awesome

[DollyTrash15121991]

i LOVVEEE Mickey Rourke! <3

[mhltan74]

Mickey's a fkn legend! Period. I'm so glad he's back in the big leagues!!!

[venelis888]

Mickey Rourkes awsome he played such a badass in ironman 2 a shame he didnt get more screen time in the film i was rooting for his character the entire time because of the way he was portrayed

[mekissingyou]

The brits like mickey :) well i do anwyays.

[AzurePalmsSensation]

@mekissingyou

he was always way more popular in europe than in the u.s. no secret.

[mekissingyou]

@AzurePalmsSensation alright... NO SECRET.

[minkuce]

I love how Sharon Stone was tearing up, such a sweerheart! I also got teary eyed. So glad Mickey got the second chance to clean up his life and career!

[zimzum13]

oscars awards are bullshit

[gerwazjana]

what is the soundtrack called playing when Mickey walks up to the stage?

[WireWolf83]

keane, keane spiralling

[gerwazjana]

@WireWolf83 Thank you!

[dontleademsomuch]

the baftas are fucking lame. everyone has to sit staring at the stage, pikie oscars. and i hate the oscars too.

[flyingbeagles]

Yay they were playin Keane

[carlyle101]

Fuck everyone in that audience for not standing up.

[c0k3pl]

4 sec - 10 sec

Hahaha! I love Mickey Rourke.

[mynameisiansmum]

Can't wait for him in Iron Man 2

[irinaderevkko]

haha funniest speech ever

[eliottiradord]

That`s an speech, i don`t know how he didn`t win the OSCAR, that was a big mistake for the Academy.

[bernhardtsen74]

The Hurt Locker?

Best Movie?

Just too much American!

support the troops and bla bla bla!

The Wrestler was like Rocky in the old days, damn great story and acting!

[betynhagw]

@eliottiradord I guess the Academy makes big mistakes all the time. Too bad they keep on doing it.

[SonicCrakpot]

@eliottiradord Lol, so the speech is worth the award not the performance. Fair enough.

[buddner]

Someone needs to post up his red carpet interview from this year's Brits. Very funny. When asked about Avatar he just shook his head and stayed quiet. the interviewer said something like 'ooh, not a fan then? well, James Cameron is here you'd better stay out of his way" to which Mickey replied, semi-audibly, 'fuck um' x2.

[ska2808]

Why would he or James Cameron be at the Brits (music awards?)

I assume you meant BAFTA =)

[buddner]

yeah, sorry, gah, mishap. anyone seen it though? quite funny.

[MrRandleini01]

How he didnt win the academy award is amazing it was a crime for him not 2 win

Sayin that sean penn was good in milk but surely mickey deserved it after all hes been through

[19Guaco]

Cool guy and great actor We love you Mickey XD

[Loyalty1269]

GETEM MICKEY!!!
