Hello, an ex convict, actually, I like to call them released convicts... anyway, who runs over a family and doesn't have the decency to stop and take responsibility for it, a drug addict, and a guy that goes and sleeps with the woman who was the wife of the guy that game him his heart. Oooohhhhhhh, they sound like a group of people I would love to have as buddies!! I'm sorry, I'm not a bleeding heart. I think more criminals should be executed, that's how I would solve overcrowding, not releasing them. I wish all drugs can be laced with deadly poisons, that would solve our drug problem, and whatever about Penn's character, I guess he's just some sick guy, did nothing wrong prior to the movie, but I still can't relate to him.

Downright amusing. Next I'm sure you're going to tell me that The Dixie Chicks won 5 grammy's for their musical ability right? LMAO :-D Give me a break. I appreciate your opinion, you like Sean Penn, that's wonderful. I think the "Academy" are full of snobs that like the smell of their own s***. My opinion, your opinion. I'm cool with that. :-) And I still find it amusing how you think it's so far-fetched that the academy votes in directions that help get their political message out despite the fact that it has been going on for decades, especially the last decade.

Either way, I didn't care for anyone. Either way, we're talking about Sean Penn, not Robbins anyhow, so nice try trying to use that blunder anyhow, A for effort. And who exactly decides what is valid or invalid as a "basis" for how we perceive someone's acting ability? You like watching Penn and think his acting is good, I watch him and he's hit or miss, many hits before, mostly misses in the last few movies I've seen of him. If you think your opinion is the ultimate be-all end-all standard, then hey, you think highly enough of yourself to be on the Academy, so maybe you should go plea your case. I think you'll fit right in. :-) I don't know why I was replacing Benicio Del Toro with Tim Robbins in my head?? Either way, I didn't care for anyone.

I still think the idea that the Academy voted just to hear an acceptance speech is ridiculous if I'm not being clear. And if you think Penn's problem was overacting (Which one point we can agree on is that Mystic River was a little plodding and I was pulling for Murray when Penn won for that one) then you'll love Milk because it's a very subtle performance. I mean he doesn't portray him as some revolutionary outside of the establishment maverick or what have you. He plays it simple and he does it well. Also Tim Robbins wasn't even in 21 Grams. And I don't see how you couldn't have felt anything for Watts and Del Toro's characters. And I could compile a lengthy list in which time skewing served a movie's story well but these are all arguments that have nothing to do with what we're talking about and just various Penn snipes that you're making which aren't valid in this discussion.

So which is it? Or do you believe everyone is biased and putting their political opinions in their decisions EXCEPT the academy? Like they are the only human beings in the world immune to that... And I find your wording weird. They "relate" to something, but it's not political... Could they be RELATING to a POLITICAL view that is skewing their decision? I mean, is that REALLY so far fetched to you? I guess you probably agree with their point of view, it's harder to see bias when it's in the same direction as you, people tend to notice contrast more. Sorry, had to split it up, apparently I talk too much, lol.

So their opinions are already different from mine on that, and they also say that Penn is a great actor, but they told me that his role as Harvey Milk was nowhere close to being his best performance and even they say they didn't think he should win. I trust their word because most of the time they can predict who will win each year with pretty good accuracy. But it makes sense WHY he won.
