Along with the Golden Globes, they are closely watched for hints of who might win Academy Awards on March 24. “Hie English Patient,” nominated by the guild in four film categories, didn’t win any. “Seinfeld” led the television field heading into the show but co-stars Michael Richards and Jason Alexander lost the best actor in a TV comedy award to John Lithgow of “3rd Rock from the Sun.” As he accepted, Lithgow saluted Richards, calling him “(me of the fun niest men on television whom I am shamelessly imitating about 50 per cent of the time on '3rd Rock From the Sun.’” For the second year in a row, An thony Edwards accepted the award for outstanding cast in a drama series on behalf of “ER” actors. -1 Dennis rranz oi NYPD Blue took home the best actor award in the TV drama category. “This gets a little overwhelming, and I thank you so very, very much,” Franz said, calling it “a blessing” to work with fellow cast member Jimmy Smits, who was also nominated in the category. Gillian Anderson was named best actress in a drama for her role on “The X-Files” On the movie side, Cuba Gooding Jn won a best supporting actor award for his role in “Jerry Maguire” and Lauren Bacall for her supporting per formance in “The Mirror Has Two Faces.” The actors from “The Bird cage” won the best film cast award. Alan Rickman won a best actor award in a TV movie or miniseries for “Rasputin.” Kathy Bates was named best actress in a TV movie or miniseries for “The Late Shift,” about the late-night television wars. Actress Angela Lansbury won a SAG lifetime achievement award for her longtime involvement with chari ties. »■'wi m mm Empire Strikes Bade enhances epic engagement EMTIKK trom page 9 . ’ • w JT- •: '. adjustments in scene sequences, as well as a few seconds of added foot age. ... Despite the media's focus on the improvements of Cloud City, the true strength of the doctored “Em pire” lies on the “ice-cube” planet, Hoth. From the self-destructing Impe rial probe droid to the Millennium Falcon’s last-second escape from the rebel base, Hoth resonates with booming clarity, technological gusto, and a more menacing Impe rial invasion. The first scene of significance lies with Luke in the wampa cave. The munching of the snowbeast as it feasts on Luke’s tantan fills the theater as Luke hangs from the cave’s ceiling. The scene progresses allowing the audience a longer view of the bloody wampa. Enhancing the special effects and sound sequence was a priority Film: “The Empire Strikes Back” Stars: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthoriy Daniels Director: Irvin Kershner Rating: PG (violence) Grade: A Five Words: “Empire” strikes back with detail for Lucas. He frequently accom plished a wind-tunnel effect. Although “The Empire Strikes Back” is a favorite of many for ob vious and numerous reasons, the re-release of the film pales next to the effort put into the original “Star Wars.” However, the visually strik ing and near-deafening Hoth se quence, as well as the additional footage of the touristy Cloud City creates a bigger, better and indul gently ominous “Empire.” Episcopalian roots remembered TEA from page 9 tions Department, and UNL Pro fessor Quentin Faulkner, also a member of the Arts Commitee. “A goal of the committee of the arts is to remind ourselves and oth ers of the role of arts in religion,” Shively said. Fagan said the display was a way of looking at the history of the congregation’s beliefs. Pippa White Lawson, parishio ner at the church, organized the English tea. Lawson said the food prepared by volunteer members of the church was a result of her Brit ish background. lnespians bring comedic ability to Moliere play INVALID from page 9 landish physical comedy, falling and prancing with childish joy. Cecily Smith, in the role of Argon’s daughter, managed to evoke some sympathy for her character’s plight over the arranged marriage. However, her obnoxious wailing of ten distracted from the quips between Hurst and McLaine. Eric Harrell, as Cleante, Smith’s suitor, exuded charm with his flam boyant gestures and pouting. His per formance in the “impromptu” opera toward the end of Act 1 showcased his comic talent. Jeremy Stanbary also won some laughs in his role as Thomas Diafoirus, Smith’s betrothed. His quiv ering lips and haughty stance con trasted Harrell’s character well, but his lines often seemed to be swallowed in his attempt at gawkiness. Act 2 lacked the momentum of Act 1 as Moliere waxed philosophic about his views on the medical profession. One of the few highlights was the scene between Argon’s younger daughter, played by Michelle Eckley, and Hurst. From the moment she en tered, Eckley matched the temper and childishness of Hurst. Their comic fin ger play provided a release from the dry lines aimed at the hypocrisy of doctors. The men, clad in their cravats and tights, provided a humorous contrast to the less sophisticated tones of the p!ay. 02 Appliances 05 Bicycles 10 Books 13 Clothing 16 Computers 20 Furniture 30 Jewelry 40 Mlsc.
