...obnoxious personality than his compatriot. (Crowe showed up for the event, but not, alas, until after he had been skewered.) James Woods returned as an emperor, referring to his agent "Ten-Percentus." "Chocolat" actor Alfred Molina appeared in a "Traffic" skit and revealed himself as "lower than a drug dealer.
