What's Your Reaction?

Mickey Rourke won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Actor Saturday and gave a long, ranging acceptance speech thanking everything from his dead dog to "Melissa Marissa Tomei" who "can really climb that pole." That came after he asked someone to his friend Eric Roberts a job.

He dropped a lot of expletives, so be warned. More news and photos from the event here.

love It...! Mickey only went off the rails once: thankfully the guy was there to shout him back as if on cue. Eric Robert has always been a great actor, now & 20 years ago, in films like The Coca-Cola Kid and The Pope of Greenwich Village, two of the best films of the 80s.

God damn brilliant! All acceptance speeches should be this open and honest.

Too Right!

He's on Leno now. He looks like he'd smell like cigarettes, booze, coffee breath, and cheap aftershave. Why does he always look unshowered?

Id like to say he cleans up well, but I haven't seen him clean, yet.

Wonderful Speech.

Seriously?

Seriously. That was one hilarious speech. I wish Mickey would've won the Best Actor Oscar, but I'm content with Sean Penn.

Everyone has been saying this was Mickey's comeback. But I would have to say that his comeback began with Sin City.

Sexism is alive and well in hollywood. Sorry, not funny.

Considering that (A) working the pole was a central aspect of Marisa Tomei's character and (B) working the pole is, in fact, a challenge - and therefore an accomplishment - I disagree with you.

Hmm, you disagree that sexism is alive and well in hollywood because of (A) and (B)? Your moniker is fitting.

I have to pull out "Bar Fly",everytime I want a good laugh and an insight to Rourke's Humor. I love Sean Penn...but Mickey is as good as any actor that has ever been..he's a natural..h­e commands any scene he's in.I figured Penn would win..but I was hoping for Mickey. I liked the pearls of wisdom Rourke left with Brabara Walters...­about an Oscar. Any producer who wants another Oscar...th­is is the horse to ride....Mi­ckey's best still hasn't been tapped yet!

Like to see Mickey do a banking exec thanking Washington for the bailout...
