DIANE LANE: 60 watts<br>
Having shot to hot-older-woman status with Unfaithful and Under the Tuscan Sun, Lane has been relegated to cheesefests (Must Love Dogs, anyone?) and forgettable flicks like Killshot. But with a lead role as the owner of the most famous horse in history in Secretariat, sure to be the feel-good movie of the fall, she’s about to remind audiences why they fell in love with her in the first place.
ZACH GALIFIANAKIS: 80 watts<br>
Everyone’s favourite bearded funnyman has gone from unknown to, well, everyone’s favourite bearded funnyman, thanks to his performance in last year’s The Hangover. Now, he’s showing he’s also got a serious side and some dramatic chops in It’s Kind of a Funny Story. Is there anything Galifianakis can’t do? Spelling his own last name doesn’t count.
