Wednesday, and Thursday NATION: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 THE BATTALION Gere, Zellweger take top awards at the Golden Globes By Sean Daly KRT CAMPUS 60TH ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS 2003 Golden Globe winners M One thing the winners of Sunday night's Golden Globe awards had in common: They all walked to the backstage area of the Versailles Ballroom in the Beverly Hilton Hotel to answer questions at a continuous press conference. Richard Gere, who won the Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy for "Chicago," said it was tough to learn how to tap dance for his role. "From now on," he announced, "there's going to be a clause in every contract I sign that says 1 have to do a tap-dance scene." Gere, who had never before won a major award, said, "I'm rediscovering the joy of what I do as an actor." Renee Zellweger, best actress in a musical or comedy, beat "Chicago" co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones. "Catherine is a phe nomenally talented woman," said Zellweger (whose last name Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted having difficulty pronouncing). "I wouldn't have wanted to share this experience with anybody else. "Now," she added, "I'm going to go and have Champagne with my friends." If Champagne is what she wanted, there was plenty of it flowing in the hotel ballroom. In fact, there were said to be 750 bottles of bubbly on hand. Not everyone was partaking, however. "I took a Valium," said Jack Nicholson, "and I am not a drinker. When 1 drink at these things, I just lose it." Snagging the award as best actor in a drama for his role in Th Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globe awards were handed out Sunday night.

Lara Flynn Boyle. "Lara's tutu was startling." said Nicholson. "She is a colorful actress. I always said a good actor has to know how to make a good scandal." Nicole Kidman, who was named best actress in a drama, wasn't in a clowning mood. Playing on the fake proboscis she wears in "The Hours," she said a friend had given her a red clown's nose to put on, but she chickened out. And, she said, the oversized "old Indian earrings brought me luck." Meryl Streep, best supporting actress for the comedy "Adaptation," had just returned from a movie set in Rome. "Don't get near me," she warned. "1 smell like a camel." Streep also said that she fee most comfortable in down-home parts. "The hardest parts are to parts where I have to be giafr orous" she said. "Glamour is iw my forte."
