of “The Practice” and Keri Russel of “Felicity”
were named best actor and actress, respectively
in television dramatic series.
Jenna Elfman won best actress in a TV musi
cal or comedy series for “Dharma and Greg.”
Tom Hanks, nominated for best actor in Sav
ing Private Ryan, picked up an early honor for his
“From the Earth to the Moon,” which won best
miniseries or movie made for TV.
The Golden Globes, selected by reporters from
the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are
awarded for film and television in what can be a
more colorful affair than the stuffy Academy
Awards.
Last year, Christine Lahti was in the bathroom
when she was announced as a winner for “Chica
go Hope.” This year she showed up as a presen
ter with toilet paper stuck to a shoe.
The Golden Globes traditionally serve as pre
dictors for the Academy Awards in March. In the
last. 16 years, 12 films that won best motion pic
ture honors at the Golden Globes went on to take
the same prize at the Oscars.
One award was announced before the cere
mony — Nicholson was honored with the Cecil
B. DeMille Award for his “outstanding contribu
tion to the entertainment field.” Nicholson has
been nominated for 14 Globes and won five.
“What I like about this particular award is that
it doesn’t come from our peer groups,” Nicholson
said. “Hollywood Foreign Press (Association) is
kind of a loose group of guys and gals. You almost
feel like you could go out and have fun with them
— probably because they don’t have as much to
lose as we do.”
The awards had once been buffeted by allega
tions of corrupt voting and long suffered credibil
ity problems, with the lowlight being the 1981
event that awarded Pia Zadora a statue for the
bomb “Butterfly.” The association worked to re
gain respectability, and after a 14-year absence
from network exposure the program was back on
the air in 1996.
This year, NBC asked Golden Globe voters to
sign waivers indicating they did not accept gifts
or perks from Hollywood studios, the Washing
ton Post reported Saturday.

Listen up, Ags...
It’s time to pull your tickets for the Texas A&M-
Texas Tech Men’s Basketball game Wednesday night
and for the Aggie Women’s game against Texas
Saturday afternoon.
Just take your (and your friend’s) sports card to the
Box Office at Reed Arena, the MSC or G. Rollie
White— then you will be sure to have a great seat to
watch the Aggies play hoops.
Reed Arena even has 30 minute parking right in front
of the building for people buying tickets to basketball
games and other events. It’s quick and easy.
If you don’t get your ticket in advance, you can walk up
to Reed Arena’s North Entrance before the game to have
your card swiped. There is a short line sometimes and the
best seats tend to go first— getting your tickets early is
definitely the way to go.
It’s like getting football tickets except you can get tickets
for everyone whose card you have. And it works. Save
this schedule for ticket distribution. See you at the game.
