LOS ANGELES (AP) — The ro
mantic war epic The English Patient
won nine Oscars Monday night, in
cluding best picture, director and
supporting actress.
“Earlier I said my cup was full.
Now it runneth over,” the film’s pro
ducer Saul Zaentz said.
Geoffrey Rush, the mentally dis
turbed concert pianist of Shine,
won best actor and Frances Mc-
Dormand, the pregnant Midwest
ern cop in Fargo, was named best
actress at the Academy Awards
Monday night.
Anthony Minghella won best di
rector for The English Patient, and
its co-star, Juliette Binoche, claimed
the supporting actress statuette.
Concluding his thanks, Rush
gave special tribute to “the un
stoppable David Helfgott — you
truly are an inspiration.” Shine
told the story of the real-life Helf-
gott’s struggle to overcome a men
tal breakdown.
McDormand strutted to the
stage and exclaimed, “It is impossi
ble to maintain one’s composure in
this situation. What am I doing
here? Especially considering the ex-
CD Clubs

Students have also found clubs are
sometimes out of stock in a CD they
want. Ususally, a raincheck is sent
telling one to pick something else.
Campbell said the club is better
now about selection because of its
availability on the web.
With all that students find wrong
with CD clubs, a preference is given to
buying over the counter, they say.
“For all the hassle, it’s not worth it,”
Campbell said. “It’s not convenient by
any means.”
traordinary group of women with
whom I was nominated.”
She then paid tribute to the oth
er four actresses nominated in her
category. She complimented pro
ducers who allow directors to make
“automonous casting decisions”
not based on “market value.”
The top acting honors won by
others prevented a sweep by The
English Patient, a burn victim’s tor
tured recollections of his misdeeds
in time of war. But it was enough to
put it among film among Holly
wood’s elite. The all-time winner
was 1959’s Ben-HurW\th 11 Oscars.
“I’m so surprised,” said Binoche,
who, like many, thought the stat
uette would go to Lauren Bacall. “I
didn’t prepare anything. 1 thought
Lauren was going to get it. And I
think she deserves it.”
Binoche portrayed the compas
sionate Canadian nurse in The
English Patient. Bacall, a star since
1944 but never before nominated,
was named for her role as a domi
neering mother in The Mirror Has
Two Faces.
The English Patient, which had
the most nominations with 12, also
won six other prizes: cinematogra
phy, dramatic score, film editing,
sound, costume and art direction.
Besides The English Patient’s
competitive Oscars, Zaentz re
ceived the Irving G. Thalberg
Memorial Award for his career. He
also produced previous Oscar-win-
ners One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest and Amadeus.
Zaentz ran into financing prob
lems after beginning production on
The English Patient and shut it
down. Twentieth Century Fox,
which supported the film early on,
decided it wanted more commer
cial casting to make it more of a
box-office movie.

Reportedly, the studio wanted
Demi Moore in the female lead. Za
entz declined any change in casting
and won financing from Miramax.
Cuba Gooding !r., the football
star who repeatedly asks his falter
ing agent to “Show me the mon
ey!” in Jerry Maguire, won the sup
porting actor Oscar. After hugging
Jerry Maguire star Tom Cruise on
his way up to the stage, Gooding
shouted out thank-yous and I-
love-yous and jumped around like
he had just caught a game-win
ning touchdown.
The Shrine Auditorium audi
ence loved his exuberance and ap
plauded as he yelled out thanks to
his family and everyone connected
to the movie.
“I know I have a little bit of time
so Tin going to rush and get in
everyone. You can cut away, I won’t
be mad at you,” the excited Good
ing warned the audience as he ex
ceeded the 40-second acceptance
speech limit.
The English Patient hit a snag in
the adapted screenplay category
when Billy Bob Thornton scored for
Sling Blade, in which he also starred.
Fargo won for original screenplay.
Oscar specializes in sentiment,
and a high point was reached when
the documentary feature Oscar was
presented to the producers of When
We Were Kings, which depicts a key
fight in the career of former boxing
champion Muhammad Ali.
When the producers gave
credit to Ali, who was seated in
the audience with his wife, the
crowd applauded wildly in a
standing ovation.
Ali, who has Parkinson’s syn
drome, made his way hesitantly to
the stage along with one-time op
ponent George Foreman, who is
also in the film.
