  <title>How Mickey Rourke became irresistible again.</title>

  <description><![CDATA[  It's best not to hazard a guess as to whether Mickey Rourke will pick up a best actor Oscar for The Wrestler this Sunday night; the odds have him losing to Sean Penn, but it wouldn't be the first time this sly, mercurial, irreplaceable actor has overturned everyone's expectations. As Rourke awaits his big moment (though, in fact, if the portrait of him that's emerged in recent interviews is accurate, he may not give a shit about the outcome—he's just enjoying the ride), I want to revisit the role in which many of us first noticed him and in which I remember him best.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2211592/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  Watching Jon Stewart's unsporting (if accurate) assessment of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button the other night on The Daily Show ("Hey, what happened to the old baby? Is the old baby OK? … No, seriously, I loved that movie. It was Forrest Gump meets … [audible snoring]"), all I could think was: "There go his chances of ever hosting again." Later in the same show, Stewart all but FedExed the academy a dead fish when he told his guest, Slumdog Millionaire lead Dev Patel, that the Oscars must not be happening this year, "because if they were I would obviously be hosting them."<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2210709/?from=rss">more ...</a>]<!--AD BEGIN--><br clear="all" /><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=8161" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=8161" border="0" vspace="5" /></a><!--AD END-->  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  If Anne Hathaway wins the best actress Oscar next month for her role as a recovering drug addict in Rachel Getting Married, it will be a big upset: Popular wisdom is divided between Meryl Streep for Doubt and Kate Winslet for The Reader, and it's heavily weighted toward Winslet (though Hathaway did recently tie with Streep for a Critic's Choice award).
