said. “It has to do with separation of religion
and state. But it’s really too abstract for a child
to understand. I think it’s pretty abstract even
for a lot of adults.
“It’s interesting because the work that’s in
this exhibit is very indicative of (the artists’)
other actual artwork,” she said. “Like if you
are to see a Mel Chin work, you would see
that it is very politically charged.”
Chin, she said, has a piece at this exhibit
that is a commentary on the Gulf War.
Among other artists and artwork featured
are; Pat Olesko and Ward Shelly with their crit-
icism of censorship of the arts. Titled
“Censorama,” this piece features a gigantic
blow up doll that “censors” your putt, Castle
sdid.
! Another interesting hole, she said, is Chris
Clarke’s “Blood on Your Hands.”
'1“This commentary on AIDS is made from
neon lights,” she said. “You actually don’t
even putt on this hole. It’s all about a hole in
one. Place your ball in the medical waste con-
tainer and watch it roll down the neons into a
pool of blood.”
Offending people with the exhibit is the last
thing the museum wants to do, she said. And,
she added, there are plenty of simple fun holes
for the whole family to enjoy.
“I think that the only people that are going
to have a problem with it are the ultra-cons'erv-
atives,” she said. “And there probably will be a
few comments about it, but that isn’t necessari-
ly bad. If people are thinking about what they
are looking at, that’s what we want them to do.
“What we really want to do is draw a new
audience that won’t ordinarily come to visit the
museum. Maybe they aren’t particularly inter-
ested in art. But by playing golf...they are
experiencing art.”
Castle said that she hopes to draw more
families to the museum.
“We are having a Putt Family Day on Feb.
20,” she said. “Admission is free.”
Also, on Family Day, Detty Moore, a health
instructor at Lamar and an LPGA golf instruc-
tor, will be giving a workshop on putting and
chipping to less experienced golfers, Castle
said.
Regular admission is $5 for those 18 years
and older. Admission is $3 for those 17 years
and younger, she said.
T-shirts are also on sale for $13.
“We don’t really care if they (viewers) like
it (the show),” she said, “just as long as they
are thinking about what they are seeing. I
think that most people will enjoy it though.”

‘Private Ryan,’ ‘Shakespeare’
nab top Golden Globe honors
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) —
“Saving Private Ryan” won best dra-
matic film and Steven Spielberg was
honored for directing the brutally realis-
tic World War II combat story, while
“Shakespeare in Love,” “The Truman
Show” and “Elizabeth” won major
awards at Sunday’s 56th Golden
Globes.
Spielberg, whose film is a major con-
tender for an Oscar, extended his
thanks to “all the veterans that are out
there that saved Western Civilization
and stopped the Holocaust in 1945.”
“Shakespeare In Love” won best
comedy or musical film and picked up
awards for star Gwyneth Paltrow —
best actress in a comedy — and for
screenplay.
Jim Carrey won best dramatic actor
for “The Truman Show,” in which he
played a man who realizes his whole life
has been a TV show. His co-star, Ed
Harris, was named best film supporting
actor. “Truman” also won for best score.
“Oh, what a shocker,” Carrey said
about winning a non-comedy award. “I
mean if you look back at some of my
earlier dramatic work in films like
‘Earth Girls Are Easy’ and ‘Once
Bitten’ I might have seen this-coming,
but I really wasn’t expecting it.”
Cate Blanchette of “Elizabeth” won
best dramatic actress for her role as the
title character.
Michael Caine of “Little Voice” was
best actor in a musical or comedy
motion picture, and Lynn Redgrave of
“Gods and Monsters” won the movie
supporting actress trophy.
The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association voted ABC’s “The
Practice” as best television drama
series, and Fox’s “Ally McBeal” won
best television comedy series.
“Spin City” star Michael J. Fox, who
has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s
disease, was a funny but poignant win-
ner for TV comedy actor. He thanked
his doctors, including one he said had
opened up his brain. “We’re so lucky to
do what we do...and just take every day
and enjoy it,” Fox said.
Paltrow played the upper-crust lady
who becomes the lover and muse of
William Shakespeare in “Shakespeare
in Love.” In “Little Voice,” Caine
played a sleazy agent who tries to turn a
meek woman with powerful musical gift
for show tunes into a star.
“Oh, what a shock,” Caine said. “My
career must be slipping. This is the first
time I’ve been available to pick up an
award.”
Brazil’s “Central Station” captured
the foreign language film award.
“Shakespeare in Love” and “The
Truman Show” were the leading movie
nominees, with six apiece. “Saving
Private Ryan” followed with five.
“Bulworth,” “Elizabeth,” “Gods and
Monsters” and “Little Voice” had three
nominations apiece.
The awards, broadcast from a hotel
ballroom by NBC, were plagued by
problems with sound cutting out and the
picture freezing momentarily.
Harris set the tone for the notorious-
ly freewheeling awards show by coming
on stage with a toothpick in his mouth,
saying, “Oh, man, I just got through eat-
ing dinner.”
Redgrave, who played the crusty but
loving maid to an aging horror director
in “Gods and Monsters,” said, “It’s
been 32 years since I stood one of these
on a mantelpiece and it’s been crying
out for a friend ever since.”
In the television categories, Dylan
McDermott of “The Practice” and Keri
Russel of “Felicity” were named best
actor and actress respectively in televi-
sion dramatic series.
Jenna Elfman won best actress in a
TV musical or comedy series for
“Dharma and Greg.”
Tom Hanks, nominated for best
actor in “Saving Private Ryan,” picked
up an early honor for his “From the
Earth to the Moon,” which won best
miniseries or movie made for TV.
One award was announced before
the ceremony: Jack Nicholson was hon-
ored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award
for his “outstanding contribution to the
entertainment field.” Nicholson has
been nominated for 14 Globes and has
won five.
The Golden Globes traditionally
serve as predictors for the Academy
Awards in March. In the last 16 years,
12 films that won best motion picture
honors at the Golden Globes went on to
take the same prize at the Oscars.
