Penn agrees to play Oscars game
Penn turned up and graciously accepted the award the first time the actor has attended the Oscars in the four times he has been nominated. A critic of the war in Iraq, Penn injected a touch of politics into his acceptance speech.
"If there's one thing that actors know, other than there weren't any WMDs, it's that there is no such thing as best in acting," he said, referring to weapons of mass destruction. "And that's proven by these great actors that I was nominated with."
