Penn Wins SAG Award

I'm running way behind schedule tonight, so I'm not going to blather on about anything in particular. I just wanted to note that Sean Penn won a Screen Actors Guild award tonight for his performance as Harvey Milk in the film Milk.

Here's part of what Penn had to say during his acceptance speech:

“As actors we don’t play gay/straight … we play human beings, and this movie is something that we are, all of us involved, are so proud of and I, we are so appreciative of this kind of acknowledgement because this is a story about equal rights for all human beings.’’

Completely awesome. Let's hope he gets to give a similar speech at the Oscars next month!
