GREAT panel !! Looking forward.
counting down the minutes to this smackdown!! great panel
I really hope Joan Cusack wins this one... comedy is underaprecciated, and not only her performance, the whole film is pure genius, playing camp as a razor edge tool for a saitre that is able to target mainstream audiences...
Frank Oz, probably the most underrated author I can think of.
