Sean Penn Wins Oscar: "You Commie Homo-Loving Sons of Guns" (Video)

I thought this was the best Oscar night we've seen in a long time. Who knew Sophia Loren was still with us?? Kate Winslet won Best Actress. And she did it with grace and beauty, observing that all the other nominated goddesses were awesome. The Slumdog cast took Best Movie and 7 other Oscars. It felt like a new movie every time they came on stage. Sean Penn won Best Actor for MILK. And just like he always does, Sean Penn stood up for justice. He deserves to win every year, in my totally objective non-biased opinion!



You Commie homo-loving sons of guns! I did not expect this, but I — and I want to be very clear that I do know how hard I make it to appreciate me. Often. But I — I am touched by the appreciation and I hoped for it enough that I scribbled down — so I have the names in case you were Commie homo-loving suns of guns. And so I, I wanted you to thank my best friend Sato Masuzawa. My circle of longtime support, Mara, Brian, Barry and Bob. The great Cleve Jones. Our wonderful writer, Lance Black. Producers Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks. And particularly, as all us actors know, our director either has the patience, talent and restraint to grant us a voice, or they don’t, and it goes from the beginning of the meeting to through the cutting room, and there is no finer hands to be in than Gus Van Sant.

Finally, for those — two last finallys — For those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight, and, I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that way of support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.
