BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Gerry: I sprained my tongue on
Armin’s last name and Norton was in
a Richard Gere film, so they’re both
out. Cuba hasn’t paid his dues yet, and
a used-car dealer cannot gamer an
Oscar nod. I’ll go with the recogniz
able Woods; despite his portrayal of a
90-year-old racist, he has certainly
paid his dues... oh, and he did a good
job, tOO.
Bret: Don’t let Gerry fool you, that’s
not how he sprained his tongue. Re
gardless, something about the name
“Cuba Gooding” seems a bit too con
trived, even for Hollywood, not to
mention he is responsible for this
year’s most annoying and cliched
catch phrase “Show me the money.”
Because of my personal affinity for
tyrannical father figures, my pick goes
to Armin Mueller-Stahl for his rivet
ing performance as an obsessed and
abusive parent in “Shine.”
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Gerry: This category has always
sucked for me. Year after year, I never
can get it right, so I’ll just blindly
guess Juliette Binoche because it’ll
keep a major streak running for “The
English Patient.” Bacall and her long
time devotion to cinema also give her
a good chance.
Bret: I agree; you have always sucked
in this category. Personally, I never
liked the relationship between Bacall
and Bogie; “The Mirror Has Two
Faces” could easily be the title for a
movie about their marriage. Barbara
Hershey’s spirited yet dubious char
acter in “The Portrait of a Lady” was
executed with brilliance and subtlety,
earning my choice for this classy and
long overdue actress.

Abstract expressionist
dies after prolific career
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) —
Willem de Kooning, whose swirls and
slashes of color helped define abstract
expressionism and made him one of
the 20th century’s greatest painters,
died in his studio Wednesday. He was
92.
De Kooning’s abstract expression
ist works included traces of the ear
lier surrealist movement and prefig
ured pop art. Along with Jackson Pol
lock, he led the group of artists who
helped New York replace Paris as the
center of the art world in the years af
ter World War II.
“I don’t paint to live, I live to
paint,” he said in his 80s. “It’s a nice
thing to look forward to.”
De Kooning painted daily until the
late 1980s, even after being diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s disease. In 1989,
after a bitter court fight, he was de
clared mentally incompetent and con
trol of his estate was given to his at
torney and his daughter, Usa, who is
his only survivor.
Among his meticulously composed
canvases was his 1944 “Pink Lady,”
which brought $3.63 million at an
auction in 1987. Two years later his
1955 masterpiece “Interchange” sold
for a stunning $20.6 million. Vintage
works consistently sold for more than
$1 million.
Bom in Rotterdam, Netherlands,
he was the son of a wine and beer dis
tributor and a barmaid. They divorced
when he was 5 and his father got cus
tody, but his mother took him away
by force — a fact that critics made
much of in later years.
He decided to emigrate to the
United States and, stowing away cm a
ship, ended up in Hoboken, NJ., in
1926. He learned English while work
ing as a house painter and commer
cial artist.
His first one-man show came in
1948 at age 44. When his canvas “Ex
cavation” won the major prize at the
Art Institute of Chicago’s 1951 exhi
bition, it was viewed as a vindication
for abstract expressionism, the move
ment that stresses the depiction of
emotion through shapes and colors.
De Kooning was married in 1943
to fellow painter Elaine Fried. They
separated later and when he was 52
he had daughter with Joan Ward. But
he never divorced Elaine and in 1978
she returned. She helped him stop his
heavy drinking and handled his affairs
until her death in 1989.
De Kooning was known for hav-'
ing difficulty declaring his paintings j
complete, but his output increased in
the 1980s, when he produced more
than 300 works. In a 1989 interview,
Rose Slivka, an art critic and old friend
of de Kooning’s, commented on his
vitality.
“It’s very exciting to watch him
paint,” she said. “As always, he brings
his whole body into it.... It seems to
flow out of his fingers, his way of
touching the canvas as if he were fol
lowing the color lines, as if he’s feel
ing into a very deep part of his life.” |
A funeral was scheduled for Sat- i
urday afternoon at St. Luke’s Episco
pal Church in East Hampton. A pub
lic memorial service will be held later.
