Mickey Rourke lets his Indie Spirit fly
Based on his show-stopping speech at Saturday night's Independent Spirit Awards, if Mickey Rourke wins an Oscar on Sunday night the Oscarcast is going to be a lollapalooza.

The Indie Spirits are telecast live and unbleeped, which added considerably to the speech's charm.
