With the post title change, my joke, which was crappy to begin with, doesn't make sense at all now.
Darn you, Lex!

2. I can't fault the other 4 finalists, but Penn was so fluid in that role |

that he stalks the living memories of people who lived in the Bay Area in that time.
It was the ghost of an era revivified.
It was a remarkable performance.

3. For the sheer acting of getting from Point A (the actor) to Point B (the character) |
|
he deserved the Oscar. It truly was remarkable. Seemed like he inhabited Milk.

7. Agree. Very haunting, but not in a menacing way. The dissolving of |
|
self great actors can manage -- Penn seems to do it very fluidly.
I was very impressed and am pleased his colleagues voted him the award.

I just rewatched the "Life and times of Harvey Milk" again and it's amazing how well Penn pulled of that war

5. Cried through that one |

years ago. So glad I'd seen it before seeing Penn's film.

6. I saw it a few year ago and put it on my Netflix list to see it again |
|
Makes me wonder what Harvey Milk could have done with his life.
I think if Josh Brolin didn't have Heath Ledger to contend with he could have won Best Supporting Actor. Brolin has a knack of playing pathetic characters not only with Dan White but pulling off George W. Bush too.

9. Josh will be around for a long time, I think... |
|
This was Heath Ledger's final hurrah and it was a tribute to him. I think that's why.

8. Hi, LynneSin. Yes. I've seen that documentary. It's a film with teeth. |
|
Penn's portrayal kept all the teeth in, but there was a huge heart beating in that activitst's chest with Penn playing Harvey Milk.
This is a big, big headline story in tomorrow's papers.
