With 10 Best Picture Noms, is Oscar Up In the Air?new

A Chat With Bobcat Goldthwait, the Jean Renoir of Sicko Humornew
Goldthwait, who parlayed his wild-haired-screamer persona into a zillion comic-relief roles on screens big and small in the eighties, has spent this decade behind the camera. World's Greatest Dad, starring old friend Robin Williams, draws forth from the fertile manure of deviant practices some tender blossoms of understanding.
