He was awesome in 'Raising Arizona'.

Ditto on our end. Crass potty humor is always good for a laugh (and indeed, we did laugh) but "they smell of new-mown grass" is in more alignment with my taste.

I'm not a fan of Raising Arizona so I can't say that I am able to separate Cage from the rest. However, to that blanket statement I feel compelled to say:

Amos & Andrew, Trapped in Paradise, Snake Eyes, The Family Man, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and National Treasure.

I think he is very much a mixed bag as a performer.

Agreed. I even thought he was too over the top in "Leaving Las Vegas."

But I did like The Family Man.

I vote for Meryl Streep for best speech. She was wonderful.

Although, I'm happy for all the Brits that won last night.

I watched about 15 minutes of red carpet arrivals while eating dinner last night.

I could physically feel the brain cells dying.

I think that is why I enjoy the red carpet proceedings so much. It's total candy.

I can go along with that. So long as the candy is black licorice: vile and disgusting.

I'd enjoy the red carpet proceedings much more with a paintball gun.
