Well if only the academy had heard and learned to appreciate ARR's best work! But Jai ho!

Agree.. not HIS best work..but it is also about having the right platform.

Lesson: not enough to do good work, you need to be able to showcase it!!

What a dream year+ for him.. Jodhaa Akbar, Jaane Tu, SDM and Delhi 6. This guy is amazing.

What was that abt choice of Hate and Love? not sur ei got it. Was he pointing to being a Muslim ?

I think so.. but this is good. his inclinations are more towards sufism - a very moderate form of Islam

Sean Penn deserves it...and the academy has effed him over so many times....although you have to wonder why care about oscars if you (and others) have been effed over so many times.

we'll have to disagree...anyone who can make himself so identical to a real-life character in body and mind, mannerisms and gait...and then deliver in a good movie...is not hamming it.

i am the biggest wrestling enthusiast on this site, i just did NOT feel it with mickey rourke. yes, he did a good job, but i didnt feel for him. he left me asking "so what"

i think langella would be 2nd of the five nominees.

I get that.. but the attempt to portray it at the level of *hi-esque achievements undermined the movie for me. I wished they had kept the movie at a more even keel. I kept feeling throughout the movie that the moviemakers want me to believe that something really huge was happening with this guy.. come on, what is so ENORMOUSLY great about a gay guy winning the election for a city councillor from a predominantly gay neighborhood in SFO. Yes,he broke barriers...but to aggrandize it to such heights was manufacturing EXTRAORDINARY greatness when there was none.

if hollywood is blinded by gay politics, then i think your gay prejudice is stopping you from appreciating an absolutely stunning performance by sean penn

I have nothing against gays (who cares what a person screws in his bedroom
