Mickey Rourke’s Profanity-Laced Acceptence Speech Costs Him An Oscar?

Mickey Rourke won a BAFTA award last night, and subsequently dropped a couple “fucks” into his speech.  Which is fine with me, I have a dirty mind and short attention span.  But that type of behavior could be a reason why he doesn’t win the Best Actor Oscar next Sunday.  Remember, the difference between Rourke winning and someone else taking the award – Sean Penn, most notably – could be one vote.

“Darren Aronofsky gave me a second chance after I fucked up my career for 15 years,” Rourke said. “I want to thank my publicist Paula for having the hardest job in showbiz – telling me where to go, what to do, when to do it. What to eat, what to dress, what to fuck. It’s such a pleasure to be here and back out of the darkness.”

Rourke then went on to speak on behalf of all straight men: “Marisa Tomei for putting up with me – she’s a hell of a talent and was very brave for taking her clothes off all the time. I enjoyed looking at her!”

The speech wraped with, “last but not least… I would like to dedicate this to an actor who is not here anymore that was a great friend of mine. His spirit and his talent live on; the great Richard Harris.”

So does that tribute to Richard Harris redeem Mickey Rourke?

Probably not, I would think.  But I guess we won’t know until Feb. 15.

Here’s the speech…

Raw, Rude and Rockin’ – Your Golden Globes Live Blog

Who doesn’t love award shows?  My personal favorite are the AVN awards, but the Golden Globes will have to do for tonight.

7:03 – All right, so I’m a few minutes late to the awards because of an early dinner that ran late, and I unfortunately saw my favorite actress pull down the night’s first award.  Kate Winslet just won for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Reader – which is supposed to be a great movie and equally fine book.  I received the book for Christmas, but have yet to read it because I pulled both of my eyeballs out of my head like this guy.

Luckily, my brail copy is one the way.

Winslet looks really nervous at the beginning of her acceptance speech.  It’s rather justified, I would say, considering she’s been nominated for an Oscar five times, and has all of 0 Academy Awards.  I must say that these type of acceptance speeches where the winner is so overbearingly happy have to be excruciating for those whom they’re close to.  Like, Winslet’s husband Sam Mendes looks like he’s just praying that Winslet doesn’t fall apart and start crying in front of 10 million people, or however many people are watching this thing across the world.  Leo DiCaprio – Winslet’s best friend and Revolutionary Road co-star – is the same way.

So congrats to Ms. Winslet, who figures to be the favorite for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, which she’ll probably get screwed over for on February 19th .  But she has a lot to look forward to over the next month, which will probably be the best of her life (as it will for the other winners tonight).

All right, she just thanked the hair and make-up department, which I guess is legitimate because she looks old as f— in the promos of the movie.

Winslet thanks her husband and kids to close out her speech, which always makes me happy.  Cheers to Kate, and I hope you win Best Actress in a Motion Picture later tonight, although Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep have to be the co-favorites for that particular award.
