All Nominees Considered
"I am a sucker for redemption stories, so I would have to say Mickey Rourke [for Best Actor]. I thought it was a vulnerable, stripped-down, raw and brave performance by somebody who has climbed his way out of what seems like a bottomless pit. It was an excellent performance. It really reminded me of all the things that I loved about Mickey Rourke in the early years, and part of that is just kind of a fearlessness to expose himself to whatever it takes to get the performance across." -- L.A. Times critic Betsy Sharkey in a 2.11 L.A. Times q & a conducted by Patrick Goldstein and also including Kenneth Turan, titled "Film experts reconsider the Oscar nominees."

I hope his putting his hands in his pants and dating Courtney doesn't ruin it for him....but that's what you love about the man, does what HE wants to do and not what the publicist says. Not.
