great performance. If Mickey can follow up with a damn good one, not necessarily as great but in the ballpark, he'll win.
I don't know. With Penn's baggage, he just seemed like a white guy in black face.

The Oscars don't really mean that much in the greater scheme of things. They're industry awards, and a commercial segment of the industry to boot.
AMPAS is more about film business than film art. The best picture of the year???? Usually not. Sometimes good movies win, sometimes not. The one thing you need to determine the "best" of any given year - time - you don't have with annual awards. So I don't get too invested in the Oscars except for fun and handicapping.
As it happens, this year I thought Penn gave his best film performance ever, a very fine one by anyone's standards. As I said, I'm not especially a Penn fan, but I found his Harvey Milk totally believable, subtle, 3 dimensional and convincing. I'm able to ignore an actor's personal baggage if they don't bring it along, which in this case, Penn didn't. Mickey R had a great, iconic role,and if he sticks around, he'll eventually get his statue. In the meantime, he got plenty of other awards this season.
That's just the way the Oscars work and I refuse to get very excited about it
