i loved rourke in the wrestler but penn was amazing in MILK and in many ways this was a much braver performance for a straight man and an incredibly deep and layered portrayal.
i'm not putting rourke's performance down - it is just a pity that two great actors happened to be in the same year.
overall, i thought the oscars were fair and just about right on (and thank god benjamin buttons didn't sweep).

I've seen Milk, and as I said, I'm disappointed Rourke didn't win. I thought he gave the better performance out of the two. Not only that, but I don't think Penn was any better than Brolin, which, don't get me wrong, were two great performances. They just weren't up there with Rourke, in my opinion.
