People have given Scott Huber many labels. That homeless guy. Bum. Horticulturalist. Panhandler. Political writer. Eyesore. He's 58, has a long white beard and has kept vigil outside a Naperville parking deck for years. In the past two weeks, police have ticketed him, fined him $50 and confiscated his belongings.

Earthlings aren't exactly welcome when they visit Smurf-colored aliens in James Cameron's "Avatar." Even Daniel Day-Lewis can't find any peace in "Nine." Hopefully for Hollywood all this strife will result in what they really want under their collective Christmas trees: A big box of envelopes that say: "And the nominees are ..."
