Sean Penn wins Best Actor
Mystic River's Sean Penn has taken the Oscar for Best Actor.

Penn was the marginal bookies favourite over Bill Murray for Lost In Translation.

"If there's one thing that actors know it's that there is no such thing as a best actor," said Penn. "That's proven by the other nominees here and those who weren't nominated - we know how great all of you are.

"I really thank Clint Eastwood professionally and humanly for coming into my life, the great great cast I had to work with, my friends."

Johnny Depp had been the favourite with Digital Spy readers, chosen by 49% of voters against 36% for Murray and just 5% for Penn.
