But he did not thank his significant other, Robin Wright Penn or his family in his acceptance speech! He made a very passionate speech about gay rights but no thank you to Princess Buttercup?
As I watched the telecast, I informed my significant other, Timothy, that if he ever won anything on national TV and forgot to thank me...I'd kill him.
Tim, who was out of his mind with boredom watching the Oscar telecast, swore that if he ever won any award, he would be sure to thank me. He would agree to almost anything at that point in the evening! I think he is planning to leave town next year during the Oscars, because I drove him crazy this weekend. I usually have an Oscar party but we had a sick kid, so I made him watch it with me. My friends call him Saint Timothy for a reason, you know?

My Dh and I have an agreement that we have to thank each other if we ever win a major award.
My dh husband used to work in sprint car racing so he was on national television almost every weekend during the racing season.We had a code worked out so if he was on screen I know he was thinking of me.
ameliasmama1026: that's so cool! Sean Penn probably had something like that worked out but man if he didn't that's bad.
Well it could be that the two of them are still working through their issues that nearly landed them in divorce court like last year.
He did look at her a lot though it appeared to me so maybe that was their thing. She was definately pleased for him and probably knew he loved her and all that w/o him trying to say it(not to mention he wouldnt be the first to forget family and then remember at the after press conference LOL).
As for me, if I won something the first person Id thank would be my family because they are first and foremost. The rest of the academy honchos can wait and be the forgotten ones.
I would not be mad, but I WOULD be hurt. It hurts me to think that my DH would "forget" or leave me out of a thanks speech.
I don't care! I just loved that movie!!! I didn't watch but I'm very excited he won. :)
I'm sure he has better ways to thank her at home in private,lol.
i voted for #4 because i would hope that if i had an so that he would at least be thinking me. i also think it would be a lot sexier if we had a secret way planned out. i didn't watch last night either so i really can't judge.
I wouldnt really care... my DH is really bad at public speaking and this is a HUGE moment.. im sure everything goes out of their head. I wouldnt hold it against him if he forgot to thank me, I know he thanks me for my support every day in his own way :)
Did she help him make the film?
