With the Ninth Symphony in heavy rotation on his iPod, ED HARRIS is diligently transforming himself into yet another artistic savant. "He's the greatest musician that ever walked the planet," says Harris, who starred in and directed a 2000 biopic of painter Jackson Pollock. "I'm an actor from New Jersey." To master the maestro for Copying Beethoven, currently filming in Budapest, Harris, who has been in about a gazillion movies but may be best known for The Right Stuff or Apollo 13, has picked up piano, a pastime he abandoned in fourth grade. He's also learning...

First I have to make a film, as I will be winning for Best Picture, Director, Editor, Cinematographer, Art Director, Costume Designer, and Live-Action Short Film (for my on-set video diary.) The film will of course be a biopic, considering that three of the five Best Picture nominees this year (Finding Neverland, Ray, and The Aviator) are based-on-a-true-story, nostalgia-drenched, indulgent soap operas. My biopic, however, will break new ground in special effects and narrative form. Titled The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of Women in Science, it will chronicle the life...
