It came as a shock to all when Mark took the award home because Sly swept awards season as the presumed favorite, winning supporting actor at the Golden Globes and the Critic’s Choice Awards. It also would have been the first Oscar for the actor, who was nominated at the 1977 Academy Awards for his first time playing the iconic character of Rocky Balboa.
Even Sly’s good pal and Expendables co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Twitter to share his support to him “No matter what they say. To me, you are the best. You were the winner. I’m proud of you,” the Terminator actor tweeted.
