81st Annual Academy Awards

[saucer-like]

I really wanted Rourke to take this.

Is this the first time an actor has won for a homosexual role?

No. First one that comes to mind is Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, there are probably others.

Is this the first time an actor has won for a homosexual role?

no i think for sure tom hanks won for philadelphia, i cant think of others right now

the presentation of the actor's awards is very touching.

kudos to who thought of it.

I so second that, its absoloutely a magnificent beautiful way to present the award to the actors, not to mention a welcome change.And i loved the fact that the nomines got more deserving honour from their colleagues, than the previous two second clips from their movies.VERY well done Oscars this year.

i thought sean's speech was wonderful, brave.. he cares enough to comment and he respects filmmaking enough to use it as an avenue to fight for what he cares about

 

[sleepingbeauty13]

Congrats Sean!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

wonderful speech.
he has all the right to say whatever he wants, he's a citizen first like everybody else.

EXACTLY, yet again i agree with you, i loved his speech and what he had to say, specially considering he played the role of a historic gay rights activist, it was logical he would bring it up.And the fact he aknowledged Miceky shows how much class he has.
