His portrayal of the devil was flawless in my opinion. Loved it

Agreed!

Really? Do you both also think he has one of the best singing voices out there?? ;-)

Tom waits is one of the best male singers alive not mentioning his songwriting and acting abilities. Wtf do you mean?! Go put on some Barry manilow.

Prettiest? No. Best? Yes!

How do the angels get to sleep when the Devil leaves his porch light on?

Maybe he will do an album with Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Willie Nelson. Music to your ears...

Oscars are about Hollywood politics and wheeling & dealing. Tom Waits does not need to be sullied with such nonsense.

It's classic, anyway, I don't care about the Oscar. But yeah it's something this movie's got going for it. Tom Waits is hilarious and really interesting to watch in this movie.

Did I not love him, Cooch? MY OWN FLESH I DIDN'T LOVE BETTER!!! But he had to say 'Nooooooooo'

I don't care so much about Oscars, but why didn't he get higher billing?

Earth without art is just "eh."
