din newsday;

Rourke gave a prolonged, hilarious, expletive-laden acceptance speech, dedicating the award to his dog that died six days earlier and thanking everyone from his director, Darren Aronofsky, to the wrestling community. He mentioned that he had just talked with the Santa Monica police department, which "gave me a bed to sleep in 10 years ago," when Rourke was in the midst of the bad-boy behavior that made him a Hollywood has-been until his comeback in recent years with films such as "Sin City" and "The Wrestler."

Momentarily forgetting co-star Marisa Tomei's name, Rourke later complimented her for her role as a stripper in "The Wrestler," which earned her a supporting-actress Oscar nomination.

"Not many girls can climb the pole," Rourke said. "She climbed the pole, and she did it well."

Right after Rourke's speech, Tom McCarthy won the best-director award for the immigrant drama "The Visitor."

"I feel like we should just stop the show after Mickey, because who could follow that, really?" McCarthy said.

rezultatele la Oscar dezvaluite !

un scandal fara precedent, daca e adevarat! Nu va dau linkul pe care l-am primit, ar fi unfair si ati fi tentati sa va uitati, dar daca vreti sa va stricati placerea va zic sa va uitati pe situl revistei franceze Inrockuptibilii. O scrisoare circula pe internet, adresata cica lui Syd Gaines, seful AMPAS cu rezultatele. Price Waterhouse dezminte, zice ca inca se calculeaza balotul, cert e ca am deschis-o o fractiune de secunda si a fost suficient sa citesc un nume si sa am o surpriza, SPOILER, pentru ca n-as fi votat cu ea, la rol secundar feminin, Amy Adams in Doubt (my choice, Penelope Cruz, pt ca Marisa n-o sa ia desi cu ea as fi mers # 1). Sper ca toata lista sa fie doar o farsa de internet pentru ca scandalul dezvaluirii unor rezultate reale, in mitizatul "cel mai bine pazit secret" al Oscarurilor pina in momentul anuntarii lor a r fi o loviatuara fatala in istoria celui mai mediatizat evenimennt al anului in lumea filmului !

...si pentru cei care cred ca afara e marea ninsoare...

iarna in Bucuresti 1955 !!!
