Michael Moore, the insurrectionist documentarian, got booed off the Oscar stage for criticizing Bush's foreign policy, but in London late last year, his one-man stage show--with bits like a nightly "Stump the Yank" quiz--was a smash hit.

Ang Lee's big green monster movie may not be a smash (it already has flies buzzing around it), but Bana looks likely to become a star...
