Mickey Rourke was robbed at the Oscars!

Mickey Rourke put on a stellar, momentous, lasting performance in "The Wrestler" as Randy "The Ram" Robinson. It was a once in a lifetime performance. "The Wrestler" was one of the best movies of the year, in my opinion, and probably should have been up for best picture. Although Sean Penn's role in "Milk" was very good, he could have been right when he said the Academy was a bunch of "commie, homo-loving, son of a guns." Maybe that is why he won. Sean Penn's role was based on imitation. It was not memorable. Rourke let it all hang out. "The Wrestler" is a gut-wrenching and honest portrait. I can not see any other actor in Hollywood playing Randy "The Ram" Robinson with the effect that Rourke did. I believe he was robbed of the Academy Award.
