Ah, fuck this shit.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

It's not fair. Penn will get a dozen more great roles, but Rourke may never get another role like that ever again. :down:

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Rourke was robbed!

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Penn played a real person and his film was a BP nominee. 2 big advantages.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Yay good job sean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Wow, a lot of you people need to grow up a bit. This is the most ill-tempered DVD Talk Oscar thread I've seen in the seven or eight years I've been on the forum. Really, where'd the people who actually have something to say go???

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Hardly an upset.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Rourke should do a WWE style run in and body slam this price.

Eh!

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Crap, the damn Brokeback Mountain contingent flooded the ballot box.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

I thought Penn was fine, but do think that Rourke deserved it more.

This whole show is just one big, boring disappointment. It didn't feel alive or surprising one time.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Officially the shittiest Oscar show ever.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Oh well, back to the world of straight-to-video for Mickey Rourke.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

I would've given it to Rourke, but really - I can accept all the performances as Oscar worthy except Brad Pitt.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Not to take anything out of his performance, but your post is signature worthly.

Rourke was robbed.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Anyone else with 20 correct picks?

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Fuck if these awards mean anything, anyway. We get Rourke in The Expendables and Iron Man 2 next year, and a shitload of other stuff.. so yeah. I'm pissed, but so long as he keeps pumping stuff out.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Oh horse shit. I couldve been playing PS3 the last few hours.

I need to avoid entertainment sites tomorrow so I dont see a Penn/Slumdog circle jerk.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Glasses? And really, you couldnt have folded up a normal 8x11 sheet of paper you prick?

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Good choice, watched in NY at time square. Memorable.

He learned from the best how to read off notes.

In my dreams he's hitting him right about NOW.

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

true ... but damn i am still mad ;)

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

Home Theater Forum?

Re: The 81st Academy Awards — 2008 Awards Show Discussion.
 

I can't see how anyone who actually saw Milk would think that Penn was undeserving of this. Heck, I didn't even think the movie was that great but thought Penn was fantastic.
