I want The Wrestlers Mickey Rourke taking the Best Actor prize, of course, but if it doesn't happen I need an Oscar upset of some kind. Doubt's Viola Davis taking the Best Supporting Actress Oscar would work. Her costar Meryl Streep nabbing the Best Actress Oscar would be a major shocker. In my ...

Hollywood Elsewhere

BAFTA Reaction —
Ultimate Addict
I never thought that my highlight of the BAFTA's this year would come courtesy of Mick Jagger in random but fine comic form in his announcement of the Best Picture award. Supporting Actress is still a free-for-all, and Leading Actor is still neck-and-neck, but although the Rourke-Penn battle ...

The London broadcast of the BAFTAs on Sunday does not cue what will happen on Oscar night. Suddenly, everyone says, as they did after the Golden Globes, Mickey Rourke will win. The folks voting for the BAFTAs are from the UK film industry, they aren't the same as the 5800 Academy voters. Of ...

Mickey Rourke gave a very entertaining speech at the 2009 BAFTA Awards earlier today and once again gives good reason as to why Academy voters would love to see him on stage accepting an Oscar and making people laugh and potentially cry. His BAFTA speech certainly has enough to keep most people ...

Is it a stretch —
LAZY EYE THEATRE
Recently I asked KC Star film critic Bob Butler who should win the Best Actor Oscar and he said either Mickey Rourke or Sean Penn deserved it, but he’d prefer Penn because it was more of a stretch for him to play a gay activist than for Rourke to play a washed-up wrestler. And that got me ...
