I freaking LOVE Penelope Cruz’s outfit and her SHOES…I’m big into shoes…those are sexy hawt, no? That dress is perfect on her.
If the Independent Spirit Awards are any indication of what is to come for tonight’s Oscar’s I am even more excited than before. Here is the write up that accompanied the pictures:
MICKEY ROURKE added to his award season haul and stole the show at the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday (21Feb09) with a hilarious and rambling acceptance speech.
A starstudded crowd at the Santa Monica, California ceremony gave the 56-year-old actor a standing ovation when he stepped onstage to collect the Best Male prize for his role as a washed-up grappler in The Wrestler.
During a bizarre speech, he dedicated the award to his beloved pet dog Loki, who died this week (15Feb); threatened to beat up comedian Rainn Wilson, who had impersonated him in an earlier skit; forgot the name of his The Wrestler co-star Marisa Tomei; and broke his microphone.
He said, “That little blond dude who did that thing (Wilson), I’m going to beat your ass when I get out of here… I’ve got thousands of letters about my dog that died six days ago. Loki, Loki, this is for you baby.”
And he needed help from the audience when he forgot to thank Tomei, who played a stripper in the film. He said, “My memory ain’t that good. I want to thank…..” and paused, prompting the crowd to yell “Marisa”. He responded by saying, “Melissa? Marisa? Marisa Tomei. She had to do all this bare-a**ed. Not many girls can climb the poll. She climbed the poll and she did it well.”
