I can't seem to get enough of Alan Cumming's portrayal of Emcee, its by far my favorite. I love this. So creepy and sleazy.. and comical. Why won't someone cast him as the Joker already? I mean he was Loki and Emcee, he's pretty much done the role already. >.>

Alan Cumming is so damn hot in a sort of creepy way. I mean, with all this make up on his face and red lipstick on his lips... *wwww* I completely fell in love with his portraial of Emcee, even more than Joel Grey's. I think Alan's Emcee is even more inhinibited and trashy. I'm watching his performaces tons of times per day and feel like it's never enough. * I'm in looooove*

Agree. I never thought anyone else could equal Joel. Lately, I was thinking about the movie and looking at clips- some of the Alan clips came up. In the comments I saw how fiercely people loved his interpretation of Emcee. So I started watching all the Alan clips. At this point, I feel they both made the role their own and they both did a great job.
