RE: There are two schools of acting...

Yep. I have a hard time stomaching when an actor gets an award or accolades for continually playing the same role.
From the movies I've seen (haven't seen Milk) Penn generally does a fairly convincing job IMO. As for Rourke I'm not sure, as I haven't seen a movie of his for years. But maybe he fits the bill of a one trick pony.
IMO the academy should ONLY reward the first group. After all it is about ACTING....
If they ever make a movie role about a boring engineering manager at a boring steel shop they should get me to play the role, I've been doing it for 20+ years. Then maybe I could get an Oscar. :)
