...speak in English but make no sense?), Willem Dafoe (so sure he would be nominated that as the nominations are announced he's already wired for an interview with Matt Lauer on "Today"), Joaquin Phoenix (camped it up in "Gladiator" as if he'd learned acting by watching John Travolta in "Battlefield Earth"), Jeff Bridges (who camped it up as a president in "The Contender" as if he'd learned acting from John Travolta in "Primary Colors...

Then Al Gore marched in with a rough cut of his own: a five-minute video of movie and television scenes in which the hottest stars--John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, Winona Ryder among them--were smoking cigarettes. The 1997 power breakfast quickly became a food fight, with accusations of irresponsibility and censorship flying back and forth between Gore and the angry moguls...
