Sean Justin Penn is an American film actor. He is also a filmmaker, political activist and member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his role in Mystic River and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor and Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Milk.
Penn's wonderful acceptance speech should have made up for any complaints. Since Penn won for his portrayal as Harvey Milk in Gus Van Sant's Milk, his speech reflected the recent Proposition 8 issue in California and presented very little good merry (gay and non-gay) comedy. Penn also thanked all the other related to film, but made it very admirable. Sean Penn Acceptance Speech Transcript OverviewSean penn said, I think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban on gay marriages to sit and reflect and anticipate theor shame and disgrace in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue in this way to support. I am very proud to live in a country that is willing to choose an elegant man President and a country which for all its toughness, creates bold artists and it is in great respect for all the nominees, creates courageous artists who, despite the sensitivity, which sometimes has led to enormous challenges Mickey Rourke is rising again and he is my brother. |

Agreed.
You are not alone in that. I thought his stab at conservatives was a little unfeeling. He is no better than "those who voted for the ban on gay marriage". In fact, he might be worse.

Penn
Penn is one who shows more of his own ignorance and more of his self importance every time he is given a podium.
