Can't believe it ! what a load of crap….Javier Bardem did nothing but look embarrassed to be there and keep a low profile …the film sucks big time and he knew it…and as for penelope cruz's performance it was nothing but a bunch of spanish histrionics…….
and they are nominated for that ???? gimme a break

Perez, I like you again, a little bit. You didn't post anything mean and hateful about Mickey Rourke. You owe him an apology for what you said. Mickey apologized for his remark.
