    Great, Mickey Rourke should win for playing himself. After all, things like that will be forgotten pretty soon.

    Well, I didn’t like Rourke’s performance. I think Langella or Penn should win. My personal favourite is Penn but Langella was incredible too.

    I don’t understand the hate for non-Rourke fans in this board. Call me insane but I didn’t see any wonderful thing about his performance. Marisa Tomei was awful too. She looked amateur-ish.

    I don’t agree with the guy/girl that said that playing someone similar to yourself is something brave. That’s not acting. I would like to see Rourke in a role like Sean Penn’s Harvey Milk just to see if he can pull it off. He can’t, obviously. His range is limited. It’s a shame that Stallone turned down The Wrestler’s leading role. I feel Rourke is still playing the “Ram”, just look at that stupid picture.

    There is NO hate for non-Rourke fans, John. Go back and look for where the actual vitriol began…
