Maybe Next Year, Maybe Never
The Academy Awards are my Super Bowl. That said, I was very disappointed that Mickey Rourke did not win Best Actor for his role in The Wrestler. However, Sean Penn’s acceptance speech for his Oscar scored some powerful political points with his pointing to the shame those that voted for Proposition 8 should own. Milk writer Lance Dustin Black also noted that true equal rights in our nation will indeed exist. Head over to You Tube to watch Mickey Rourke’s ultra-hilarious acceptance speech for his award given on February 21st by Film Independent’s Spirit Awards. I would love to know who ‘Gap-Tooth’ is - bringing to mind a recent episode of The Office. I would imagine one could also find Robyn Hitchcock’s performance from the Spirit Awards where he played “Up To Our Nex” from nominated film Rachel Getting Married. Perhaps it’s no Bride Wars….”Up To Our Nex” is one of Hitchcock’s best songs since “Madonna Queen of the Wasps” and the album Fegmania. Mickey deserved better. Just spend some time with Diner and Angel Heart.
