Yup. I could care less about the Oscars. I could not be bothered to watch the self-congratulating vermin. I was hoping Mickey Rourke would win because his story is about redemption, he took responsibility for wrecking his life, he credited his dogs for saving his life, never said anything bad about Bush and actually said something good abouyt Bush and he is a good actor.
I knew Penn would win because the very large and strong gay mafia in hollywood and in backlash to Prop 8. Every year it is some political agenda. The one year was about African-Americans where Denzel won and the half white female won - I forget her name. Denzel accepted his award and did not engage in politics. The woman went on and on even though she is half white. He can act and she is not very good.
