Why Sean Penn Didn’t Thank His Wife

A lot of people we’ve spoken to are really annoyed that Sean Penn didn’t thank his wife during his Oscar acceptance speech as Best Actor for his performance in Milk.

But Sean said simply, “That’s implicit.”

“I wanted to keep things focused on the professional team around this movie,” he explained. “And with Robin comes my mother, my son, my daughter and half of them will punish me if I mention them.”

There you have it.

This from the man who likened winning an Oscar to “a car wreck.”
