Sean Penn


Happy Birthday to

Sean Penn

49 today


The current holder of the Best Actor Oscar reaches another year older today; and probably spending the day with the family. I recently watched Milk again, and his performance is really something, the final lines still ringing in my ears. "You gotta give 'em hope."

Isn't he divorced already?

I remember him as being quite great in Milk, but I wanted Mickey to win, as he gave a more unexpectedly good performance

It's been getting divorced, not getting divorced, getting divorced, not getting divorced over the past 3-4 years.

As I understand it he's taken the year off (including cancelling the Three Stooges) in order to save the marriage.

I've not seen Benjamin Button yet, so I still haven't made up my mind about last years Oscars, however I think I'd go along with you and vote for Mickey. Both fantastic performances, mind. Difficult choice to make.

no Benjamin Button? [shock] :P

as you might've noticed, MANY people around here hate it or find it a total lack of emotion.

I LOVED it, because is visually stunning, perfectly directed and I adore the leading pairing. It was actually my #2 for last year in general and my #1 from the BP lineup, by far.

So, once you'll see it, you'll have to pick one corner or another.


saving his marriage? why? doesn't he have a prenup? :P [kidding]
