Your question of whether or not "Milk" should be considered "original" is actually quite valid. Academy rules state that the disctinction between "original" and "adapted" screenplay is that if the script is based on a SPECIFIC source (like a book, play, etc.), it is adapted. But if it's a true story and the writer based the script on multiple sources and fashioned the script based on what he gathered, it's qualifies as original. "Milk" falls on the latter category.
Rourke should have won best actor!!! The only reason he didn't get it was because of his involvement with WWE that's bullshit the amount of training and work that Rourke put into that role he deserved the oscar. Not sean fucking penn who just had to play a gay politician which anyone can do.
I really was pulling for Rourke but I just knew that Penn was going to win so i didnt really et disappointed i think there is too much bias against wrestling for Mickey to overcome

You'r 100% right, Sean Penn won because of the whole Prop 8 thing in California. The VERY liberal Academy wanted to make a statement.
Just because a guy kisses another guy, doesn't mean you give him an oscar. Bull shit
