...Coogan. Rob Brydon, who has worked often with Coogan, plays Tristram's Uncle Toby and "Rob Brydon." Much of the film's grace and brass come from their comic kinship, as when they compare Pacino impressions, or discuss the exact shade of Toby's teeth.

SALMA HAYEK and JULIANNE MOORE served as co-hosts of the Nobel Peace Prize concert, which airs this week in the U.S. The event, held last month in Norway, honored Nobel laureate Mohamed el-Baradei and his International Atomic Energy Agency with performances by Duran Duran and Gladys Knight.
