Mickey Rourke with another priceless acceptance speech! Stage set for Oscar glory?
by Steve MasonMickey Rourke won the Independent Spirit Award last night in Santa Monica, possibly setting the stage for a memorable Oscar moment tonight. Randy “The Ram” Robinson, the character that Rourke plays in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler (Fox Searchlight) is a blazing, raw, “broken down piece of meat” of a professional wrestler, and it is a once in a lifetime performance for the not-that-long-ago has-been.
His speech is so entertaining that as I was hosting an Oscar Eve radio special on 790 KABC in Los Angeles last night, every guest that had been at the Spirits could talk about nothing else, including Best Supporting Actress nominee Taraji P. Henson from Benjamin Button, E!’s Ben Lyons, Associated Press film critic Christy Lemire, James Marsh, the writer/director of Man On Wire (favored to win Best Documentary Feature tonight) and Emmy winning actor Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad (set to return on AMC on March 8).
This acceptance speech comes with a strong R rating, so if you are easily offended, be forewarned.

Please… PLEASE let this man have a microphone at the Kodak tonight!
I was glad to see him talk about Eric Roberts cause that's where the talent in that family really lies. He's been overlooked in favor of his sister for too long.
The Spirit Awards? Are you kidding me? Is there no end to the entertainment industry's ability to reward and self-congratulate itself?

Is there no end to Mickey Rourke's brilliance? Ditto on the amazing Eric Roberts, sadly relegated to making films for the Lifetime Movie Channel for women in Canada.
A-men.
If he gives that speech at the Oscars it will be the best part of a boring, boring award show.
Haven't saw "The Wrestler yet," but as someone who has known numerous professional wrestlers, I'm looking forward to it.
If he wins, I hope he hits Clooney with a steel chair.
Absolutely effin’ brilliant. This guy is the only real human being in a town full of plastic asshats.
This guy will crawl back into his bottle with his crack pipe very soon. Mickey IS the Barfly.
This guy is burnt out on some drug(s) and look at people yell and clap their approval. Just goes to show you that people in hollywood have no morality or common sense. Being a drug addict does not mean he is "one of us", it means he is a lost soul in need of help.
dude always manages to forget to thank the writer. S.O.P. I know, just a quibble.
Movie was here a whole 10 days and missed it. I'll have to wait for the DVD now. I hope Mickey can stay clean and I'm sorry about his dog.
That was stream of consciousness–or maybe lack of consciousness–speech.
