GWC’s Own: Cornbread Gumby ^The Reel Thing P H By Noel T. Manning, II k J Entertainment Editor j Oscar Nominations f 4 (That Should’ve Been) ^ This list of films, actors, actresses and directors are some of 1991’s greatest...that did not receive Oscar nominations. But, they definitely deserve recognition! Best Film "Cape Fear" - A sadistic, vengeful killer hunts down the small town lawyer who once defended him. "Dead Again" - Detective Mike Church has been hired to learn the ID of a beautiful woman who has no memory of her won life, but is tormented by nightmares. This is a story-within-a-story of murder, love and passion, both present and past. "The Doors" - Two time Oscar-winner Oliver Stone traces the meteoric rise and tragic fall of Jim Morrison, the legendary rock star whose remarkable career ended with his death at age 27. Best Actor Val Kilmer - "The Doors" River Phoenix - "My Own Private Idaho" Kevin Costner - "JFK" Best Actress Annette Benning (Beatty) - "Bugsy" Emma Thompson - "Dead Again" Best Supporting Actor John Goodman - "Barton Fink" Joe Pesci - "JFK" Best Supporting Actress Meg Ryan - "The Doors" Diane Weiss - "Little Man Tate" Best Director Martin Scorsese - "Cape Fear" Barbra Streisand - "Prince of Tides" Kenneth Branagh - "Dead Again The first Academy Award winners knew three weeks ahead of the ceremony, and for several years, the winners were announced on the morning of the presentation. Only since 1941 have the winners been kept secret until the famous envelopes are torn open. No one is quite certain who gave the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scien ces Award it’s nickname. One story is that an employee of the academy, when seeing the statue for the first time, exclaimed, "Why, it looks just like my uncle Oscar!" Oscars weigh eight pounds, stand 13 in ches high, and are covered with 24-karat gold. They are made by R.S. Owens Co. of Chicago. It’s an honor to be nominated for an Oscar, but sometimes hopes can be crushed. Both "The Turning Point" and "The Color Purple" received 11 nominations. Each won not a single award. **Sources: "What Makes Popcorn Pop?" Dave Woodside/Atheneum Publishers and "The Movies" by L. Edward Pur- cell/Longmeadow Press.* * By Aimee Stewart Staff Writer On March 21, a little bit of Gardner-Webb will be at NC State. What little bit?, you ask. Well, four of our very own students that have joined together to form a band. The band-CORNBREAD GUMBY. GUMBY includes Andy White, freshman (undecided major); John Rice, senior business major; Charles Neil, senior business major; and Marty White, junior political science major. The band has been together since January, but Rice and A. White played together last semester. As these guys rehearsed, drummer Neil joined in. After completing an internship in Washington, D.C., M. White joined. GUMBY plays a sound like the Athens sound with a little bit of rock-n-roll incorporated. A. White writes most of the songs. Rice has also written a song or two. GUMBY also plays cover songs by REM, Nirvana, and the Black Crows Bits-n-Pieces Tommy Neil Tucker, Rutherfordton, is the winner of the third annual Gardner-Webb College playwriting contest, according to theatre director John Brock. Tucker won $350, and his play, "Kitchen," will be produced April 2-5 in the Dover Theatre. Second place honors went to Elliott Blackwell of Lake Wylie, SC, for his play, "Sex Education." The third place award went to Myna Dickerson of Greenville, Miss., for "Battle of Sapphire Egg." Where’d the name ’Cornbread Gumby’ come from? The guys were making a Gumby man out of cornbread in the cafeteria. Go figure! Keyboardist M. White said, "(The band) appreciates all the interest and support that everybody has shown." CORNBREAD GUMBY plays March 21 at NC State, opening for the alternative band, THE THROES. Good luck, guys!!! If your friend is upset over getting a bad haircut, never ask how much they paid for it. If your friend’s dog dies, never bark when you cough. Junk Mail Blues Every now and then, your postal carrier will deliver packets of a hundred 3x5 cards advertising various products. The cards are self-addressed and postage paid for convenient and speedy return. Fill out each product card with a friend’s address. They’ll get junk mail for years to come...and have you--their friend—to thank for it!
