LionelRichie Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have seen all films now.. I have predictions up, but will probably revise the week of Oscars.. I am still on fence with Rourke in Wrestler vs Penn in Milk.. and Streep in Doubt vs Winslett in Reader.. will decide later i saw both movies as well and think rourke gave the better performance but penn will win. 2 reasons: 1 - milk was more of an upbeat movie and the material appeals to the hollywood crowd 2 - penn's liberal politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rourke more tahn likely will win, buts since its so close I will just go wit hwhat I thought was a better job..not by much both great, but I just give slight edge to Penn..
