No need to freak out: Sean Penn purposefully didn’t mention wife Robin Wright Penn in his Oscar acceptance speech. Penn told Access Hollywood that they had discussed it ahead of time and Robin knows how he feels about her. Wright Penn went on to say that they knew there wouldn’t be “enough time.” Pretty cool that the couple thought Penn’s time in the spotlight would be better used raising awareness about important issues, especially if they feel that secure about their relationship.

He was on Oprah saying he didn’t thank her or his mom or his kids because he wanted to keep it professional. Whatever, it only takes a second.

It’s bull…he thanked his best friend, for God’s sake. That’s not personal?! Not a classy move, Sean!

wtf… i know they’ve had trouble before, but now i’m concerned about stockholm syndrome. Otherwise, why not just man-up and say, “ooops!” for gods sake?
