to watch some new stars right on the verge of breaking out. AMY ADAMS is a
huge talent, and will someday be one of our top actresses in any genre. EMILY

elements that made it so popular. Then, there is veteran Oscar winner ALAN
ARKIN...Who could have divined he would have such a late-career success? But:
