    I can think of ten actors of the top of my head that are better than Sean Penn. He is a no talent loser that has a habit of staring in snooty highbrow films.

    Mickey Rourke should have won best actor. The only reason Sean Penn won was because he played a GAY man. The academy has a soft side for movies like that for example Brokeback Mountain. I think they are afraid to say they don't like because they think they would offend someone or the gay community. Both Milk and Brokeback were OK but not oscar worthy the Oscar should have went to the best actor

    So glad Jolie and Brad didn't win, now maybe they'll get their noses out of the air. They're just normal people who get paid a lot show off
