Who is the beter actor?
Two of the best, and probably most intense, actors of this generation.
Both have two Oscars for Best Actor
Penn
Milk
Mystic River
I Am Sam (nominated)
Sweet and Lowdown (nominated)
Dead Man Walking (nominated)
Lewis
There Will Be Blood
My Left Foot
Gangs of New York (nominated)
In the Name of the Father (nominated)
I go with Lewis, Penn is a little too hammy for me.

A lot of the expected Penn-hatred here.

Meryl Streep pisses on both of them.

The real reason behind Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn's split... Commitment-phobe actor 'did not want to be tied down'
Hollywood has been abuzz with speculation about why Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn's short-lived relationship fizzled so quickly.
And now it appears that there may be an answer to the riddle.
According to reports, the 50-year-old actor 'did not want to be tied down' to 26-year-old Lost In Translation actress.
Sean split with Scarlett after five months, because he 'didn't want anthing serious,' a source told Us Weekly.
It has also been revealed that Scarlett was desperate to reignite the flame, especially at the recent Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards in LA, where the former couple were snapped together.
Speculation was rife that they may have reunited when they were spotted back in each other's arms that night.
But a witness to the event told the magazine this was simply not the case.
'She pushed herself into his conversations,' the insider told Us Weekly.
'She sat down between him and Robert De Niro. Robert was like "What?" and made a face.'
And in an even further embarrassing revelation, Scarlett was desperate to get a snap with her former lover.
Exes: Scarlett is said to have initially chased Sean following his divorce from ex-wife Robin Wright, both pictured here last year
'A photographer asked for a shot,' the witness said. 'Before Sean could say no, she said yes.'.
Earlier Sean seemingly avoided Scarlett on the red carpet by sneaking in the back door while the actress arrived in a stunning white Valentino dress.
At the event Sean accepted the Guy Movie Hall of Fame award from Robert De Niro for his role in Fast Times on Ridgemont High.
Sean and Scarlett's relationship from the start surprised everyone when it came out of the blue, but according to the insider it was all a result of Scarlett's pursuing.
The actress is said to have initially chased Sean following his divorce from ex-wife Robin Wright, even though he wasn't looking for a relationship.
'Scarlett pursued him,' they said.
Sean and Scarlett set off a media frenzy after they went on a romantic getaway to Cabo San Lucas earlier this year.
They were also spotted together on a flirty lunch in a Los Angeles restaurant in March of this year when Scarlett rested her legs on the actor's lap.
Speculation that there has been trouble brewing in their fledgling relationship began when Scarlett was noticeably absent from the premiere of Penn’s latest film, The Tree of Life, at the Cannes Film Festival last month.
A source then confirmed to People Magazine last week that the pair has indeed called it quits and are no longer an item.
