Stage set for Oscar glory? http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/smason/2009/02/22/mickey/ http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/smason/2009/02/22/mickey/#comments Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:39:02 +0000 Steve Mason http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/?p=57382 Mickey 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.
