Mickey Rourke Should Have Won

Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor and made a passionate but predictable political speech. I was really hoping to see Mickey Rourke win for the pure entertainment value. The Academy Awards would be more interesting with speeches in which actors swear uncontrollably while thanking Eric Roberts, police officers, and the wrestling community. Most of all, I was pulling for the Best Actor award to be dedicated to a dog.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up Mickey's speech at the Independent Spirit Awards. It is amazing (and extremely profane, so discretion is advised).
