No need for ‘Patient’ star to wait to take home Oscar THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Juliette Binoche was the surprise winner of the support ing-actress award at Monday night’s Oscars, taking the statuette that many people even Binoche thought would go to Lauren Bacall. “I’m so surprised,” said Binoche, the portrayed the compassionate Canadian nurse who cares for a dying bum victim in “The English Patient.” “I didn’t prepare anything. I thought Lauren was going to get it. And I think she deserves it.” Bacall, a star since 1944 but never before nominated, was nominated as a domineering mother in “The Mirror Has Two Faces.” “The English Patient,” which had the most nominations with 12, got four early prizes, including sound, costume and art direction. Cuba Gooding Jr., the football star who repeatedly asks his faltering agent to “Show me the money!” in “Jerry Maguire,” won the supporting actor Oscar. After hugging “Jerry Maguire” star Tom Cruise on his way up to the stage, Gooding shouted out thank-yous and I-love-yous and jumped around like he had just caught a game-winning touchdown. The Shrine Auditorium audience loved his exuberance and applauded as he yelled out thanks to his family and everyone connected to the movie. “I know I have a little bit of time so I’m going to rush and get in everyone. You can cut away, I won’t be mad at you,” the excited Gooding warned the audience. The nominees were told at their pre awards luncheon that they would be limited to 40-second acceptance speech es. Gooding proved there were excep tions. Oscar specializes in sentiment, and a high point was reached when the docu mentary feature Oscar was presented to the producers of “When We Were Kings,” which depicts the career of for mer boxing champion Muhammad Ali. When the producers gave credit to Ali, who was seated in the audience with his wife, the crowd applauded wild ly in a standing ovation.

The first Athwal rider stated, “All publications which are produced using Student Government Funds must include the following statement within their publication: ‘This publication was paid for, at least in part, by Student Activities Fees.’” The cost per copy and the number of copies are also required to be printed on the publication. This rider passed by a vote of 14-3. The second Athwal rider stated, “All programs, flyers and advertisements printed for events which utilize Student Government Funds shall contain the following statement: ‘This program has been funded, at least in part, by Student Activity Fees.’” This rider passed by a voice vote. Rep. Harper Gordek, Dist. 15, said he opposed the riders because if a group tftyppr pill m Wired for Sports Can't find what you're looking for in the Sports Section?

Before the show, the contenders for top honors were largely unknown to most Americans. Except for Cruise, Diane Keaton, Bacall and a couple of others, most of the 20 acting nominees hadn’t gotten much play in Peoria. In fact, three were nominated for their very first movies: Emily Watson, “Breaking the Waves”; Edward Norton, “Primal Fear”; and Marianne Jean- Baptiste, “Secrets and Lies.” Fourteen others were never before nominated. And in the best picture category, four of the five nominees were independent films with relatively small audiences: “The English Patient,” “Fargo,” “Shine” and “Secrets & Lies.” Only “Jerry Maguire” was released by a major Hollywood studio. But the scarcity of big names and blockbuster movies among this year’s Oscar contenders didn’t dampen enthu siasm for Hollywood’s 69th rite of spring. “We’re going to see some stars!” said Elmer Armstrong, 54, of St. Louis, one of hundreds of fans who had camped outside the Shrine Auditorium since Saturday. “We have some wonderful! seats here.” After a three-year absence, comedian Billy Crystal agreed to return as host of the three-hour-plus Oscar ceremony, telecast live on ABC. He received a standing ovation for an opening act that! put him in scenes of the night’s big films. The evening’s lineup of presenters included previous Oscar winners Nicolas Cage, Susan Sarandon, Julie' Andrews, Michael Douglas, Jodie' Foster, Goldie Hawn, Tommy Lee Jones; and Keaton, as well as up-and-comers Sandra Bullock, Chris O’Donnell, Nicole Kidman, Chris Farley, Will Smith and Uma Thurman. Two of Monday night’s winners had been previously announced. Saul Zaentz received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for high level of producing, and Michael Kidd received an honorary award for career achievement. forgot to attribute their funding to stu dent fees, they could potentially be denied funding in future years. • - -,r- jrr But this information .provides.a. way for students to know how their student fees are being spent, Hoffman said. “I think it’s a small thing that can do a lot of good,” he said. Rep. Bryan Kennedy, Dist. 4, said the statements would help Congress be more accountable to students. If stu dents recognize where fees go, they can discuss these funding choices with their representatives. For the Record The March 24 article ’Congress votes to fund minority recruitment’ should have stated that Student Congress on Saturday voted to allocate almost $18,660 to stu dent government's executive branch. That amount included $3,000 for the minority recruitment fund, which the Student Congress Finance Committee voted down in its hearings. The Daily Tar Heel regrets the error.
