Grammys anger New York mayor
NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph
Giuliani will probably not be get
ting a “Nicest Mayor of the Year”
award from the Grammys.
Giuliani is in a tiff wi th the head
of the award ceremony and says he
does not care if the whole produc
tion heads back to the West Coast.
“I’m not worried about it at all. If
they want to go back to L.A., they
can,” Giuliani said. “I do not allow
people to abuse members of the
mayor’s staff without responding.”
Giuliani claims Michael
Greene, the president of the Na
tional Academy of Recording Arts
and Sciences, verbally abused
one of his staff who wanted an ex
planation for why the mayor was
cut from a nomination ceremony.
Greene “used language with her
you shouldn’t use and not only
hasn’t promptly apologized for it,
but is lying about it,” Giuliani said.
Greene sent
flowers to the
aide, but she re
turned them.
The 40th an
nual Grammy
Awards show,
slated for Feb.
25 at Radio City
Music Hall, held
a nomination Giuliani
ceremony in early January in
which Giuliani was invited to fill in
for country crooner Clint Black.
But when the nominations were
to be announced, the mayor’s of
fice was told Giuliani had been cut
horn the script.
When the aide asked for an expla
nation, Greene exploded, Giuliani
spokesperson Colleen Roche said.
According to Roche, Greene
screamed, “I’m not going to let a
bunch of suits come into this par
ty and tell me what to do.”
A Grammy spokesperson de
nied that there was a problem
with the mayor.
Giuliani’s indifference to the
Grammys is a far cry from his attitude
back when the Grammys moved to
New York from Los Angeles.
“There really is no other city, at
least in America, that can celebrate
a show like this quite the way that
New York can,” he said at the time.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC may ask as much as $2 mil
lion for a 30-second commercial on the final episode of
“Seinfeld” — a figure that would break the record set just
a few weeks ago by the network’s Super Bowl broadcast.
The last original episode of the popular sitcom,
slated for a full hour on May 14, is expected to attract
a huge audience.
The trade magazine Advertising Age said in Mon
day’s edition that NBC started floating the $2 million
asking price among media buyers last week and has no
takers so far.
But Larry Hoffner, president of network sales for
NBC, said Monday there had been no final determina
tion on what NBC is going to seek for the last “Seinfeld.”
“We’re not out in the marketplace with this right
now, but we expect to be shortly — in the next week or
so,” he said.
NBC set the record for the most expensive commer
cial time only a few weeks ago when it raked in an av
erage of $ 1.3 million for 30-second commercials on the
Super Bowl.
“Seinfeld” has been among the highest-rated series
on TV in the past few seasons, with ratings this season
in the low 20s. Hoffner said “we are looking at Super
Bowl ratings” for the finale.
Commercial time in original episodes of “Seinfeld”
this season have reportedly been going for as much as
$550,000 for a 30-second ad.
Hoffner also said the “Seinfeld” audience contains
a large number of relatively affluent people who
make the show the only prime-time program they
watch regularly.
Jon Mandel, who oversees network ad purchases for
the agency Grey Advertising, said the reported $2 mil
lion asking price was designed to “get some headlines”
and expects the real price will be lower.
But he said NBC will get a high price for the program,
and it may make sense for an advertiser like a movie stu
dio that wants “to do something that reaches the maxi
mum number of people in the shortest period of time.”
Batman gets nod
for Razzie Awards
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin Cost-
net and Val Kilmer are up this year for
Hollywood’s big Phooey.
They were joined Monday by San
dra Bullock and Fran Drescher in get
ting nominations for Razzie Awards,
the annual spoof of the Oscars hon
oring the worst in film.
The latest Batman & Robin got 11
nominations, with none for star
George Clooney, if you don’t count the
nod with co-star Chris O’Donnell for
worst screen couple.
“I think Batman is one of the big
disappointments of the year. If we
had a category for the loudest and
most obnoxious, it surely would win,”
said John Wilson.
Speed 2: Cruise Control got eight
nominations.
