Martin Scorsese
The foreign press awards, the Golden Globes, have honored Hollywood's best, in what some see as a preview of the Oscars. Among the honorees was venerable director Martin Scorsese, given the award as best director for "Gangs of New York." Best drama award went to "The Hours." That movie's Nicole Kidman captured the best actress Globe. Jack Nicholson, for his role in "About Schmidt," was named best actor. Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger won "best in" roles for their parts in the musical "Chicago." That romping, dazzling effort also won the best musical or comedy category. Supporting players Meryl Streep and Chris Cooper were honored for their roles in "Adaptation." It was the 60th annual event for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which also honored American television, giving Globes to "The Shield," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "The Sopranos."
