PENN LASHES OUT AT OSCARS PROTESTERS

SEAN PENN has blasted the anti-gay protesters who ruined his Oscars on Sunday (22Feb09), insisting it's time they grew up and stopped hurting others.

Sean Penn at The 81st Annual Academy Awards (Oscars) - Arrivals at the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood, California - 22.02.09

Penn, who won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of gay California politician Harvey Milk, was greeted by an angry mob as he arrived at the Kodak Theatre for the Academy Awards.

And he admits his initial anger was replaced by a great sadness for those protesting.

He says, "It's becoming such an archaic, childish and cowardice (sic) position that they really start to look like clowns without the make-up on.

"It's something that's really easy to get angry at but you start to feel sad for them, and it's time to quiet them for the damage they do to others. It's kind of mind-boggling, the sophomoric level of thinking."
