(AP) - American Beauty, a dark fable of life in suburbia, captured the Golden Globes for best drama, di rector and screen play Sunday night, while Toy Story 2 was judged the best comedy movie. Denzel Wash ington’s portrayal of a boxer wrongly convicted of mur der and Jim Car rey’s uncanny im personation of the late comic Andy Kaufman won top movie actor honors as real-life stories ruled at the awards ceremony. Picking up his Globe for best dra matic movie actor, Washington was ac companied to the stage by Rubin “Hur ricane” Carter, whose story was told in the film The Hurricane. “Everything that has happened with this film and this moment is about the love that has come from him,” Wash ington said. Carrey was named best movie com edy actor for Man on the Moon. A year ago he won best dramatic actor for The Truman Show. The best dramatic film actress Globe also emerged from a true story. Hilary Swank won for her breakout role in Boys Don’t Cry, in which she CRUISE played a young woman who was killed after her masquerade as a man was dis covered. British actress Janet McTeer won best actress in a musical or comedy film for her performance as a Southern mom in Tumbleweeds. Tom Cruise of Magnolia and An gelina Jolie of Girl, Interrupted won motion picture supporting actor honors. All About My Mother, from Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, won the foreign-language movie award. A poignant moment in the television categories came when Michael J. Fox was named best actor for the comedy “Spin City,” which he announced he is leaving because of his fight against Parkinson’s disease. But he handled it lightly. “Actor out of work news at 11,” Fox said. “The Sopranos,” which won feu major awards at the Emmys last year, was named best drama series and dra matic acting trophies went to 1 die hal- co and James Gandolfini. The ac claimed mob drama also earned a supporting actress trophy for Nancy Marchand. HBO’s other winners were “Sex and the City” as best TV comedy, its star Sarah Jessica Parker as best actress, RKO 281 as best miniseries or made- for-TV movie and Halle Bern as best actress in a miniseries for “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.” “In the spirit of Ving Rhames I'm going to give this to Jack Lemmon.” Lemmon said, iightheartedly recalling the year in which vs inner Rhames his trophy to Lemmon. Peter Fonda was TV’s best sup ing actor, for the Showtime minis “Passion of Ayn Rand.” American Beauty was the lei movie contender going into this y Golden Globes, a eercmons whicl serve as a bellwether for the upeo Oscars. The film had six nominees, in ing actress Annette Boning and Kevin Spacey.
