I CANNOT believe that Penn won over Rourke ... OH YEAH - HOMAGE to the gay community !!!
A few years ago the Academy accused Penn of “Oscar shopping” with “I am Sam” ... he did the same thing this year.
AT LEAST Rourke takes challenging risks as an actor ...
WORST WIN since “Shakespeare In Love” beat out “Saving Private Ryan” for Best Pic ...
I would say "American Beauty" winning was the worst, but that would be a close second.
