Sean Penn was great as usual but I thought it was clear Mickey was better. Mickey's performance is really one for the ages and it was the performance of a lifetime, but with Penn I dont really feel he let himself be carried away with the character like Rourke did for his. Penn's was just skill, and he'll go on to give more good performances, but like I said Rourke's was the performance of a lifetime. Acting as good as that isnt easy and it takes alot out of you
Mickey's got class, nice to see him back and smiling.... Mickey was once poor and futureless and he's at the oscars???? Absolute legend and courage!!!!!
Rourke said Sean Penn best actor of this generation? WTF, The best movie Penn played in was I am Sam and he played a retard, and Penn is a retard. Fit perfectly.
my mom was a fan of his back n the day wen he first showed up in body heat. Then it kinda passed on to me wit get carter, once upon a time in mexico, man on fire, and sin city. Mickey is so real man. Thats wat makes him stand out from most leading men
i adore him but sometimes i feel like he's playing a little bit on his hard times....maybe i'm the only one thinking that but....just because i love him i'd like he was true.
Fair play to the man. He made mistakes and now he's makin' up for them. I give respect to anyone who has the balls to do that. Life is all about second chances.
Sean Penn is an amazing actor who was passed over many, many times in the 1980's, finally winning for 'Mystic River,' but truth be told, Mickey was asked to do so much more with his role in 'The Wrestler' than any actor could ever dream of pulling off. All this and he made us care for Randy "The Ram." It was an amazing feat and we'll see him back at the Academy Awards soon, I'm sure.
ANY actor will tell you, it is harder to play an original character ( Randy " The Ram" ) than playing a factual character. Penn had tools and a canvas already laid for his art, Rourke had to cut the tree's. strip the bark, make the canvas, buy the paint and CREATE an entire entity . He did that, and then some. It was academy snobbery and any actor will tell you, that should have been Rourke's.
@untamedromeo Hey, Mickey Rourke is a great actor but actors don't CREATE the whole canvas all by themselves. They work off a script that contains a story with characters that are developed to a large degree by the script writer. You don't see the writer when you're watching the movie and you don't see the guy running the camera either, but they're both helping to put that character on the screen and the actor can't do it without them.

i love the man, but it's really good he didn't get the award. if he really gives a crap about this show, at least it'll keep his aspirations going to get the Oscar next time. he walked away with alotta recognition and statuettes anyway. and Penn's Oscar win was a totally safe political choice. plus - Penn didn't get the Globe, and his performance did deserve some recognition.
The oscars were shit this year, the only good awards were penelope cruz, kate winslet and the guru: Heath Ledger R.I.P. Mickey was much better than sean this award was stolen. Mickey deserves it.
Rourke didnt have a chance with the academy if truth be told. He def deserved the award but he pissed off too many of the hollywood big wigs off back in the day. I think him not winning will make him even more legendary though. He is a true rebel after all and forever an outsider no matter what awards or money come his way. This is what makes him great.
I thought Mickey's performance was much better than Penn's. I guess, in the eyes of the academy, the ability of Sean to speak with a lisp in his role really set him apart from the others...
Mickey was robbed. This was his award. That's not right. I know he thinks Sean is great. That has nothing to do with this particular competition. He brought everyone out to see a wrestler movie. That is no easy task.
Everyone I talk to wanted Mickey to win. I think getting people to see a Wrestler movie is not an easy task. And people like my mother wanted to see it, because Mickey was so amazing. Everyone was talking about it. He IS best actor this year. Penn must feel like Mickey should have got it. He said he wept when he saw The Wrestler.
I have a lot of respect for Sean Penn, but Mickey Rourke truly deserved to win the Oscar. I'm really pissed at the Academy Awards for not giving him his well-deserved award. Rourke was so brilliant in The Wrestler, and it pains me to see Penn win the Oscar instead of Rourke.
Rourke is a retard for swearing the night before oscar at the spirit awards. His role was crap in the wrestler (rhash of Rocky) he played his usual retard self how hard could that be?
