    Very logical analysis. I was thinking about this the other day and thought that Slumdog would be the big winner but had no major actor, so it was either Penn or Rourke. Penn having won previously with Mystic River, it's really logical for Rourke to get it. And who else but Kate Winslet?

    My only major disappointment was the complete shutout of Gran Torino. Though I might be biased as I am a big Eastwood fan.
