Steven Spielberg (seen here with wife Kate Capshaw), is as much of a draw as any superstar. It took the Minority Report director 60 minutes, by the clock, to walk the 50-yard red carpet leading to the Ziegfeld Theatre.

"You have known Tom Cruise for 20 years now -- how has the making of this film impacted on your relationship?' we ask in our turn. "Actually, it is about 15 years that I have known Tom," Spielberg corrects us. "And after the wrap, I thought, I have got my brother."
